You need to add something about passing off incorrect information as gospel.

Top paragraph, per request: There also seems to be a penchant as of late for posters wanting to cling to the sinking ship of their incorrect information regarding CO and OnePass. If you are proven incorrect by some reasonable means, please consider promptly performing what Gen. Dwight Eisenhower referred to as "a tactical advance to the rear".

You expect me to interpret poetry tonight? :confused::rolleyes:

I thought left-handed born on Friday the 13th was lucky?

Plus1 was born Apr 13, our nanny July 13, and BL JR Oct 13. We need to add a Jan 13 so make it quarterly.

Well you better get working on that!

My mother, my cousin and I are all on the 16th of the month, four months apart: March/July/November respective.

Night box!

Mine's outside - that's why I describe holstering behind the Blackberry ;)

Speaking of birthdays - I appear to be going to Zurich for mine (Labor Day weekend).

I had a dream the other night we were having twins and that since we were having twins, we wouldn't be adopting now :confused::eek::confused:

NEITHER is happening - so perhaps we'll have to await one of our spawn to bring in the Jan 13 person

Plus1's sister is the 16th as well - she can be your 4th ;)

Thanks, I'll be here all week. Please remember to tip your waitress.

Dinner tonight was quite good. You'll find your Presidential Coins on the table.

I need to find somebody who works for a company that owns a casino that could hook me up.

:rolleyes: Yes, you really should

^ Very cool! Too bad, you could hop over to St. Malo for the St. Malo do, but guessing you'll want to stay around Zurich.

Ahh, yes. That holster you linked looked inside-style to me.

I owned a 2-iron at one time. Now my bag is the driver, 3-wood, 3 and 4 hybrids, and 5-iron thru 60-degree with four wedges (pitch, gap, 54, 60) and then finally the unremarkable putter.

Breathing creates noise on some level, so waiving that charge Is Not Possible.

Less than $100 in taxes total is very light for some of the U.S. / Europe itineraries. Even without the YQ fuel surcharges.

I'll collect just under 30K RDMs ...

Alright - I need some sleep.

ConciergeMike Jun 9, 2009 11:10 pm

Night, Box. I have a lot to do tomorrow so I've not a clue why I'm up this late.
