Thanks - Cheekwood is very cool - it was owned by the family who made Maxwell House Coffee, sold to Postum (General Mills pre-cursor), and immediately invested all of the $40 million in early 20th century dollars in IBM. The house has been turned into a museum, with Faberge eggs, the portraits Warhol and Wyeth did of each other, and carvings by William Edmondson. Very cool, and I used the free admission through the Bank of America program (first full weekend each month).

Ok, one more question - is there any way to find out ahead of time what runway/direction a flight will be using? (I'm still sorting through the links you provided so if it is there, my apologies!). I looked at Flightaware and similar websites but did not see that specific information. Since they seem to lag a bit real time, once the heading does show up, it's usually too late.
The planes are pretty low over my house and if I have friends/family arriving I sometimes go out to see if I can see their plane (and take the appropriate photo). So maybe I am a mini-nerd.. |

Go to hungrygirl.com (it's not just for girls, I promise!) and sign up for their newsletter. They also have awesome recipes (I've done their swap with laughing cow light to make alfredo sauce and it is fabulous!) and good tips on new foods, taste tests, etc. as well as some good coupons.
Also, although single servings are more expensive, still better than tempting yourself with the entire bag. I'm addicted to popchips and while these are better than regular chips, I could eat a bag at one sitting. I know I'm sick because the thought of a drink right now . . . :( |

Looks beautiful! I've never been to Nashville, and not likely to just randomly visit (unless maybe there's a FT event or something!)

"We never would have chosen this facility had we known they were a Pepsi shop!" I got so wrapped up in my coding this evening that I forgot to leave work 7 minutes ago. :eek: On the plus side, another fares option for the tool is done, and I've got my currency conversions working much better, except that for some reason Yahoo finance doesn't understand how to convert between Rubles and Euros. The numbers are just plain wrong. I think I'm going to have to find an alternate source for just that one. :mad: |

One of the best lines ever from the former HR director/co-founder of my Dad's company when denied while ordering a Coke at a company hosted event in Martha's Vineyard:

Like AA, some NW aircraft are still dual-catered. If I order a Coke and the FA says "Is Pepsi OK?", my response is "I'll take another Woodford instead."
