You are going to love it! He is an amazing man and a fantastic ambassador for UA. His FO from our dinner in Dec. was very easy on the eyes ;)

From everything I've read about him, he sounds like a cool person to meet!^ I'm looking forward to it!

Me neither (haven't flown UA in a few yrs), but since I will be in COS, it seemed like a fun FT outing to take in. Plus, I reserved a room at the Sheraton (trying to take advantage of the SPG promo before it expires!) in downtown DEN so I can explore around there.

I must say that you are "well preserved" too.


You went to ND State?

Thank you; I'll chalk it up to the travel ;)

My bass player saw McCartney at Citi Field the other night but didn't offer me a ticket when he got them :mad:. I heard Billy Joel showed up and played on a couple songs.

Seeing McCartney (& Billy Joel) must've been an amazing show! I think you need to have a talk w/said bass player!!:D

PLUS1 to both of you!

It's fun to look at pics from when one was younger -- it's particularly interesting when one has a daughter that is now 18 & looks so much older than her mom did at that age!

I can see that you had a lot of snowy memories from your college days!:D
I can't imagine living or going to school in that part of the country!:rolleyes:

One question - why?

Amazing, isn't it? One of my friends is about to become a grandmother and one person from my class has been a grandmother for over 5 years (so her grand child is the same age as my child :eek: ); though she started very young.

who is Denny Flanagan?

Google the name, Shawn; there's some really interesting reading to be had. Famed UA 757/767 Captain who hands out personalized business cards, gives away wine, and is an overall spectacular ambassador for UA. The profile piece that the WSJ did on him was one of the better pieces I've read. lucky9876coins is kept apprised of his flying schedule, and he has been known to organize party flights which feature Capt. Denny at the controls. IIRC, a recent one changed its callsign to "UA Flyertalk 1".

Was that photo taken before or after you and your brother tried to set a world record on the teeter-totter? :D

He put much time and effort into the LAX dinner at the Proud Bird. It was hard to believe what he does on his own time and dime.

Back from an incredible, but quick, 36 hours in Santa Fe, NM. We arrived late Friday night, and then spent Saturday enjoying brunch at Tia Sophia, exploring the Plaza, shops, and Canyon Road, hiking in the mountains, and then relaxing for a couple of hours at Ten Thousand Waves Spa (private hot tub room ^^^ followed by some time in the sauna and laying out on the communal hot tub patio). We wrapped up the evening with an amazing dinner at Geronimo. Then, this morning, there was just enough time for breakfast at Paris Café (a sidewalk café with its outdoor dining literally in the middle of a street), and then a drive back to Albuquerque via the scenic Turquoise Trail.

Now back home, and headed back to New Mexico again tomorrow for work. Yes, I flew ABQ-IAH-ATL today, followed by ATL-IAH-LBB and a drive to Clovis, NM tomorrow. But had I not come home, it would have meant a solid two weeks of not seeing my own home, and hauling around enough clothing for two weeks of work, plus two weekend trips, and I wasn't willing to do that. Besides, there's a lot more miles in it this way, and my client in Portales, NM is buying these tickets.

Anyway, it was a great trip. Now to plan the next one.

Because it was far away from New Jersey.

Being that my half brother is 15 years older than me, ah no.
