I started taking Tamiflu now. I forgot I had it from the piggy flu scare when we went to BZE.

what about zipcar? I saw one of those last weekend.

Only 180 miles a day and anything over is $.45/mile

Fantastic! I love this website. A friend told me about it a while back and now it's addictive.

CM, if you come down to a gig sometime, you can jump on the drumset and we'll see if your rhythm comes back. Woodbridge, NJ this Friday (cool little neighborhood bar), Freehold, NJ on 7/24 (really kick-a$$ place with a great restaurant and an awesome crowd).

Almost done updating all my flights in both the Box FM and my personal FM. Last night I finished July (so far), June, and May. Just have April left, which was a total cluster**** for me when it came to flying. I've got a huge stack of boarding passes, some for flights that were canceled due to weather, others for flights I was protected on in case of a missed connection that I didn't need, and boarding passes for flights I actually took. Tonight I'll straighten out that mess and finish updating.

But, I've added two new small town airports to the map — FWA and FCA.

You know you fly CO on the same route far too often when you take two flights on the same day, and on both flights end up with flight attendants you've had on the same flight within the last six months, and in both cases they recognize you. Happened to me yesterday on ATL-IAH-BTR. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure I could endure NK for even IAH-HOU.

I'd have to say that Jamaica is my second least-favorite Caribbean destination, second only in :rolleyes: to Dominica. Nassau is a close third.

What's your favorite?

We're considering the Caribbean as a possible destination over Thanksgiving this year.

Try having the same FA in F on your outbound from the home airport three trips in a row.

I'm a minority in The Box in that I prefer Hilton. I don't have a reason to avoid SPG or their properties...just happened to have a bunch of good Hampton Inn stays and needed a new credit card, so I went to the HH AmEx. I do have a Discover card that is solely paying off a balance transfer...once that is paid, maybe I'll get myself an SPG too.

I love Starwood's newer, nicer properties. But they have some real dumps out there too. But I could say the same about Hilton and Marriott too. So I just have top-tier status in all of them, and plan my stays based on the options available wherever we're going. Not sure how long I can keep that up, but so far, it looks like I'll have no problem getting the minimum number of stays/nights for another year of Hilton HHonors Diamond, SPG Platinum, and Marriott Rewards Platinum in 2009. Marriott's little double elite nights promo in May/June, plus my Marriott Visa (gives you 15 bonus elite nights) will make requalifying for Marriott pretty darn easy this year. I work the Hilton stays to maximize stay credits and BD miles on the same trip, and I'm able to hotel hop around Baton Rouge on my trips here to get a couple of Starwood stays, plus a couple of Marriott/Hilton nights, on each trip. So it works out pretty well, and fortunately my project manager in Baton Rouge is a bit of a SPG point whore himself, and a former Marriott corporate employee, so he understands the points game and has no issue with my crazy expense reports.

I don't know why I'm at this client today. So far it's 11:00 AM and we've done NOTHING today. And most of the people I need to see aren't here.

Yeah, one FA playfully accused me of stalking her.
