There are upgrade options for both?

Yes. I am being cheap with my miles and am thinking of only upgrading one.

Damn. A man ain't a Texan if he can't grill, or so I've been told. :(

Of course, I switched the channel immediately, but she starts giggling and says "turn it back, I want to see that". :eek: We have trouble on our hands.

Perhaps I do need cable again!

Only one milestone for me. But still cool!


Having Blue Bell Mexican Praline!! AWESOME!

So my animal encounters continued today with a racoon meeting my car on the freeway. WOW!

I currently have 276 bagels in my car. I wonder how long that smell will last???

Upgrade the Gold outbound, risk the Plat (red eye) if you have an exit row and can fall asleep. JMHO.

I had a bagel burger a bit ago...because the brand new loaf of bread that I purchase was TOTALLY blue mold under that brown label.
I can handle a little mold(bread is normally not fresh tasting however) and cut it off, but this was bad, so I went to a bagel...it was heavy and I am feeling a bit sick now.

Key Food

When I lived in NYC, I saw two elderly women get into a fight at the neighborhood Key Food that ended with one hitting the other with a wrapped-up smoked whitefish. I went back there recently but, sadly, there was no fish fighting.

Perhaps this is a test to see how quickly you can prepare something (a mock fire drill)? Doesn't seem fair, though.

The s/o is just silver now, so I upgraded him on both flights and I am going to roll the dice for myself. If not, I have my exit seat. :-:

Yeah, Steph3n had the same idea but I think it is likely a case of the hiring manager being too busy and forgot about sending the information to me. This doesn't seem like the kind of gig where they would do that sort of thing.

Well that was very nice of you! :)

I assume you guys will be on a 738 or 9 - I never found those seats comfortable to sleep in.. so perhaps if you upgrade the outbound, you can enjoy a nice meal together. And worst case you crash in your exit row on the way back. Just a thought.

I used his miles to upgrade him, so it was not that nice, but he does not need to know that! :p


Right now both flights are on a 738 with 16 F seats. I will pray for an EUA :-:

Good night, Box. I must sleep.
