Is there a hidden sentence scrambled in the boldface?

I don't think so, but you are free to use your imagination. :p

Nice stores. ^ And Design Within Reach is out of reach for most of the population. It's ridiculously overpriced.

What's scary is that between Hollywood and Santa Monica (like 7-8 miles), there are three DWR stores! :eek:

Speaking of Belgium beer, how do you say Chimay? Soft sh sound, or harder? :confused: Thankfully I've never had to say it out loud.

I just got out of an "all hands on deck" management meeting that was, perhaps, on the disaster-meter scale a 9.8 out of 10.

It would have been a 6, but I had just drank 3 pint glasses of water and a mug of coffee before I went into the meeting and we were sequestered. I think I actually turned yellow by the end.

My door will be closed for the rest of the day. It takes a lot to kerfuffle me, and I just got kerfuffled hardcore. :mad:

That site is sooo frustrating almost as much as the alitalia site! Easiest thing to do it become a 'member' to be able to log in bc it seems to do anything on there you have to be logged in. And then it really doesn't tell you anything.

Tried the Alitalia site 2 days ago to web checkin and could not find the stupid link! I had to google it to find it, then I couldn't checkin bc flying from cdg. (I was literally shaking the computer, wanted to hit the webpage, but of course didn't want to ruin my screen :eek:)

So what is the easiest way for you folks to search skyteam awards?

I use the nwa searcher supplemented by Expert Flyer to start and then just go over to co.com and dl.com to see if there is anything left laying about. And when all else fails, get on the phone because they still have lots of things you can't find on the web if they are properly guided.

My "only-a-FTer-would-think-about-that" thought of the day:

The mini-DO golf outing tomorrow is a 2+ hour drive from my house. Since I was unable to fly down to ACY (NK is NOT an option), the thought of renting a car has entered my mind. I just can't grasp the idea of attending a FT DO without earning any sort or miles and/or points somewhere.

Amtrak?

I'm assuming you can call CO and book through them.

I hadn't thought about Amtrak. Unfortunately, the drive to EWR plus a transfer in Philly would add 2-3 hours to my trip. :( Additionally, the transfer at 30th St. in Philly with golf clubs would probably be a pain!

The NJT train that runs to AC does stop somewhat close to the course. I never thought to put that option together. I drove in my own car the nearly 3 hours to the B6 T5 thing at JFK. Went back home right after too. At least the drive isn't in addition to paying a greens fee, and the dinner joint isn't horribly priced at all.

ETA again: I know rolov and sbm12 are pooling...I believe from Secaucus Junction.
