The Continental gods have smiled on me!

Their schedule changes now have 2 753s and a 752 for the DEN-IAH segments ^

Probably for skiers, but it definitely makes life for the 2:30pm business travelers much better. :D

Yeah, they usually upgrade the DEN flights to 757s for the winter and early spring. However, I've had horrible luck in the past getting upgraded on Fridays on the 2:30 PM DEN-IAH 753, even when it was 24 F seats. That was as a Gold. But at least on that plane the Y seats are more comfortable, and there are plenty of exit row seats to choose from.

Went to a home Nets game the other night.

In the past, delayed games were always due to "late arriving teams" into the Continental Airlines arena.

Now, the Izod Center is pleased to have games that start "fashionably late."

:rolleyes:




(I'll be ducking, so feel free to throw any rotten fruit you'd like.)

The best idea ever was the nets paying the exit toll on the turnpike for their last home game one year.

BTW belynch what exit are you??

I must have read that Izod line about 10 times before it hit me - bravo, sir.

It's all because CO serves crappy pizza onboard. :o

This may be nothing but boast, however, I got BF Mileage upgrade notice 30days prior on return flight from NRT, in addition to 60 days prior on outbound flight. :cool:

This is the first time that waitlist cleared both way in such advance. ^

That about sums it up - since people are shopping and eating instead of working out or engaging in other stress-busting activities, this would be the result...venting wherever possible.

Haven't had time to notice. Finals & 120,000+ pages of document review to be completed by Friday (35+ Bankers Boxes worth of riveting reading material) = One very stressed and brain-dead Otter.

While I'm not as stressed as the Otter I've got two finals and a killer project coming up...thus I seem to be focusing more so on the studies than FT. :(

In two weeks however...:D

J. Edward...are you really in college? I think that you sit out there in the Hugo Chavez corridor and dream up excuses that make you seem smarter.....so, what gives? :cool:
