And of course you can still earn points there. It may not be your preferred program, but Marriott Rewards is out there, and points in a non-preferred program always trumps no points at all in my book. |

That's a very new Springhill Suites, and built to the newer design. I've heard it's nice.

Trying something new for dinner tonight – well, a new preparation, anyway. I was at Whole Foods earlier buying salmon to grill tonight and saw they had wood grilling planks, so I picked up a couple. Going to do cedar plank grilled salmon tonight, with broccoli. We'll see how it turns out. Plank is soaking in water now.

Old true story: a concierge in Chicago was approached by a guest and was told that the guest required a bag of eyeballs. The guest was speaking at an ophthalmology conference and wanted to put a handful of eyes in glass bowls at each table in the room. Conference was happening the next day. The concierge struggled and struggled before realizing that the Chicago stockyards would be the perfect answer, as the guest never specified that the eyes be human or glass or fake or whatever. The stockyard had no need for the eyes, so the hotel sent someone to get them.
I've bought ping pong balls and painted the black dot on them when I've need eyes for Halloween decorations. Keeps the gag factor to a minimum. Although one Halloween day, I was meeting a flight from IAH and the Captain gave me a box and said here are the eyes. I replied with a Happy Halloween to you too and he said he wasn't joking. He actually had a cooler full of human eyes for the Human Eye Organ Bank. |

I have actually called around cities hitting every butcher shop/slaughterhouse searching for pig's eyes to demo/train on a piece of surgical equipment. I usually have eyes shipped in from a company in TX but if I need them last-minute, I have to improvise.

After a day of teaching people how to teach, I came home and napped for two hours. That's common for days when I teach more than three hours (I use a lot of energy keeping everyone engaged) ...

Guinness, salad, crab cakes, and a leftover piece of salmon for dinner.

Oh, something I forgot to add... Apparently a lot of dealerships are now only letting people put $5k down on a credit card, even if you have double that available in cash. :rolleyes: So much for my 10k Starpoints in a single transaction.

I think it could be argued that buying an item via one of those RPU auctions is the same as buying the item from Delta or one of its agents... :rolleyes:

I pity the fool that bought an auction item from an eBay username that has "revprotection" in it. How dumb is DL to use that handle, and what further level of stupid is the person who thought that buying from it was a good idea?

I doubt anyone has really bought from such name, looks to have only sold one item, it is probably just the official name that brings down the hammer.
