I hope to pick up the remaining LA area airports (I've only got LAX and SNA) later this year, thanks to my LA client. Those trips will also be key to me easily renewing my UA status.

Forgot I'll also be adding VCT for the CRP DO. I could probably convince the Significant Otter at some point that HRL/BRO/MFE are ridiculously expensive, and that we need to fly into LRD to get to S. Padre Island. She's clueless about stuff like that, which is how I managed to add SMF to the list during a Labor-Day trip to SFO. :D

wait till she learns about maps.google.com and sees that going to EWR to get to SMF/SFO is a bit out of the way :D

Nah. She put up with HKT-BKK-NBO-JNB-CPT. I think I've got a keeper.

TMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson died.

UA is determined to keep me in economy this week. Doesn't look like any of tomorrow's upgrades are going to clear.

At least I managed to get out of the middle E+ seat I was in for tomorrow's LAX-IAD flight and into an aisle seat on the 2 seat side of the aisle.

I saw that. The early reports of his condition didn't sound hopeful. What a week, if it's true — three big celebrity deaths, and two on the same day. Of course Ed McMahon and Farah Fawcett weren't really a surprise, as it was well known they were very seriously ill.

Being CNN and Wolf Blitzer, this could go on for hours without breaking away for even a commercial.

My client's network seems to be letting me access only FT at the moment. I can't get any other website to load, but FT pops right up.

ABC news now confirming MJ's death. :(

Just had to enter info (full name, date of birth, passport, etc.) for me and at least 1 guest.

Not that I'm prescient but Wolf's at the one-hour mark at the moment ...
