To someone at CO, will you please open up some R seats on IAH-NRT-IAH? We're within 30 days now and you still haven't sold any in the last few months.

They are sending the mass to the lab to be sure, but visually, the tumor looks to be benign.

They are booting her out of here sometime tomorrow. She'll only need crutches for a few weeks.

I am so freaking happy.

Ditto. But I rarely wait in lines as it is at the border. I'm not sure how much it would really save me. And I can't use it when with someone else, right?

It would be nice to have and probablly worth the C-Note, but it sticks in my craw to pay $100 for this when something similar like the HK Frequent Visitor Card is gratis.

And I STILL haven't seen baglady yet. If the happy juice made her groggy, they'll keep me away for awhile.

I have been on TATL flights in J where I observed individuals remaining in a suit and tie (sans only the jacket) for the entire flight, even on eastbound flights. A few of them didn't even loosen their ties at all during the flight. I am generally comfortable in a suit and tie, but I would not sleep on a TATL flight with a tie on.

windwalker did take better photos of me. This was in the JFK B25 SkyClub - I guested him but he unfortunately only had a few minutes to grab a snack and drink before his flight (see aforementioned JFK passport control complaints).

I did wear the same tie three consecutive days - Friday work, Friday / Saturday flying, Saturday / Sunday in ZRH, Sunday flying.

Did you need to see a photo of me wearing a tie to know I'm nuts? Seriously? And I rarely wear jeans - slacks and long-sleeved shirts everyday.

I'm in that camp. And I thought windwalker was taking a photo of the spread I had accrued by the time he arrived (netbook, bourbon, seafood fennel salad, cheese and crackers, etc.)

Are you a Dutch banker?

I have gone directly from work where I was wearing a suit and tie to a TATL flight. I had time to change, fortunately (I had to work the next day and didn't want to sleep in my suit), but that isn't always the case.

Sleeping in a tie would give me nightmares about being strangled.

Oh, and happy belated birthday to Olton Hall and best wishes for baglady's speedy recovery.

No but my academic disciplines are econ, finance, and management. I also wrote loan models for a state's finance authority.

You must be a Dutch/French banker or corporate executive.
