W on TV? Glad I didn't turn on the tube this morning, I don't care to see W or O on the tube. I may feel like busting it.

Kennedy funeral. W is next to the Clintons and the Carters and they are back in the masses. Don't think H.W. is there. In a general crowd shot Kerry's big head sure stands out.

According to an article in yesterday's Houston Chronicle, Bush Sr. wasn't going to make the trip.

Well, good morning box.

Morning Box!

Well I still haven't gotten any better coverage here at home even thought the representive said they were turning on a new tower Yesterday. Guess I will call and see if said tower was activated yet. Otherwise it is a nice day here in OK. Only going to be in the mid-80s today! :) No rain either!!

Thanks for the recommendations there in Fremont area, Chaat is good and pretty fast place to eat. Shalimar I did not make it back out, but the Thai place there next to it was surprisingly good, and the indian market. i'd never have made it out there without you mentioning it.

No problemo.

YOW and hockey has been cancelled in favor of MSP and a day of industry seminars with a visit to Mall of America thrown in. Can't say I'm complaining, as I can take some area-appropriate seminars to what we're thinking about for a honeymoon. It'll also be another journey on Northwelta for the FM this year, as neither my mother nor I are willing to tolerate 1,008 flight miles on an RJ.

That depends on the metal. the "A" seat on an 145 > Y seat on the DC-9.

Oh yah, to keep the box "on message."

Will my upgrade clear on SEA-CLE this Thursday?

Hmmm. E175 operates the preferred outbound option on DL. New dot, new line, new jet.

The more I think about where I'm going and wanting to go, the more this orphaned AA miles thing is bothering me. I might, upon making real money again, have to resort to mileage running to get the 20K in AA miles I need to move those miles to HHonors and shutter that account.

On second thought, getting a couple of their credit cards might be a less painful method...

I've been walking around DC today. Rolo will soon have mail ;)

I'm now at the Smithsonian American History museum. I figured I should see Julia's kitchen.

Good Morning Box.

The official weather report from yesterday, for the Bay Area: The temperature topped out at 105. :eek: I knew I was hot. It was difficult to sleep with the noisy fan last night and with all the water I was drinking, I found myself getting up every few hours to pee. :td:

Today it's only suppose to be 85. I'm sure we past that temp hours ago.

That is one museum you can spend hours in. In fact all of their musuems are great.
