We were snippy for the first few days of the honeymoon until we wound down a bit.

This is what we did and am very glad we did it this way. Also, logistics of getting married in Houston and living in NYC played a roll in our decision to wait a week for the honeymoon.

For an infrequent flyer, it's like flying in F for him. He asked me if they are going to serve anything. I don't know. FLL-IAH at lunch time. CO 1849. Oh, magical 8 ball, is there even a chance for a VDB tomorrow? He's willing to do it. :eek: I'm guessing your answer will be no.

I will take a guess a say no bump. F is booked 9/16, so there are 5 seats available in F. I doubt they would be over in Y by more than 5, but my crystal ball is not connected directly SHARES :p

I cannot imagine that this will be an annual thing, certainly not at this level.

I've heard of some pretty big talk for next year. I'm waiting until we're done with this year before even thinking about next year.

I was guessing no, because I was offered to buy him an upgrade into F for $79. No biggy.

That's not a bad price for a F buy-up from FLL

Nope. I'm home trying to not flip out over my mother's complete inability to understand and her unwillingness to learn about a technology purchase she made and her complete disrespect for my time.

But for an infrequent traveler he would rather spend his money elsewhere. Again, the exit row will be like F for him. Whatever makes him a happy camper. On the way back, I'll give him a couple of drink chits to make Y a little better.:D

Just got off the phone with a reporter from the NYTimes. Apparently I'm going to be the subject of a piece on travel and loyalty programs. :D :D

Even better, she said they might put in a plug for my blog. More readers = more ad clicks = ^^^.

^ Very cool and well deserved. I hope they plug your blog; it's very, very good!

I am going to go to a movie at lunchtime.

I want to see Julie and Julia (even though it didn't get great reviews) because I just think I would enjoy it.

Enough said.

It's gotten some good reviews. I can't wait to see it! Enjoy!

Do you Box folk know anyone in the graphic design/print industry that could do some specialty business cards? I would prefer someone local but if there is someone with a good portfolio outside of Houston, I'd be up for it.

Our art director does freelance stuff on the side and does a great job in his freelance stuff (as well as his regular job of course), but he's not local. Plus1 may know some folks locally.

Apparently we have a Bobby Flay restaurant that opened up in north Jersey, Bobby's Burger Palace. I will provide a trip report and review tomorrow complete with pictures.
