This stupid conference call for work has gone on for far too long. I guess I should be thankful I'm on the West Coast though, as it's only 6:35 PM here. Back home it would be approaching 10:00 PM and I'd still be on this thing.

This is the credited response. I was op-uped on a 763 in domestic-F, and it was blah. http://rolleye.com/styledrunk.jpg

5:00 PM PDT. Scheduled for one hour. Approaching two hours. I think we're almost done. My phone did get disconnected earlier because the battery almost died, so I had to rejoin after plugging the phone in.

OMG — we're done!

Agreed. And this also has to dovetail with our JFK-BCN trip for New Years so there are some limitations.

I've set a new objective in my weight loss plan (as I was just under 202 today). Instead of under 200 by end of year as originally intended, I'm shooting for under 200 by Tuesday, when I have my annual physical. Yes, I know there's a Do that involves bourbon and eating at racetracks in the interim.

SSH?

DXB is great as 2-3 days is enough to see the sights. Plus, the 77W is pretty darn nice in C! Or get yourself a 77L via IAH.

I just laughed uncontrollably at the South Park "wrestling" scene in the bar.

Nothing close by is very appealing at the moment. Mostly fast food.

Concierge at hotel helpful enough to trust with call-in recommendations?
