A nice dessert, and use for medium grade port, is in a bowl made from a little over half a cantaloupe, with port soaked into and on top of the melon. First saw it in an Italian restaurant in Piccadilly.

But, for me, nothing tops a good grade port, figs, and a cigar (outside, of course, nowadays) for dessert.

Oh goodie. I got another little course to teach for $ (as opposed to the free stuff I do every week) Time to learn all about the new(ish) national traffic sign retroreflectivity inspection requirements.

Another :rolleyes: today...

Expedia called earlier. We're scheduled to fly ORD-DEN-PHX-GEG-PHX-SFO-ORD in March. A schedule change means we'll now misconnect ORD-DEN-PHX. They offered a refund as no other flights were available. I asked for a change to a nonstop but they said they'd need to call USAirways to make sure it was okay with them. I told them I'd call back. I knew I should have gone for the nonstop.

Will US Airways let us change the first flight and drop the second segment? I'd guess so, as it's due to a schedule change. Should I call Expedia back, or just US Airways? I'm nobody with US Airways, but I don't think Expedia will go out of its way for me.

The tower lounge, but that is in A Non-Schengen where the USA departures are, you might arrive at those gates. The LH flight arrives at A or B, so we will have to see. Your onward flight should depart from B Non-Schengen, I have no idea where my CDG flight will go out from.

There's always the transfer between A/B. I think it is like 20 minutes or something.

If you have High Title in the start up, why not try getting a "corporate officer" comp? I talked to guy recently who is the "CEO" (also everything else from Chief Technologist to janitor just about) of a med tech start up in PHX who got such comp from US.

I don't know how he did it, but that's what some of those GS/CO* deals are about, I believe, only with slightly larger companies.

Im not sure how they handle the arrival usage of FCL but under the rules It states you can take a guest provided they are on the same flug.
It is a grey area since I will be on F on EWR-FRA with fozz, technically he should be allowed in for being on the same flight. So we are going to try this. When you arrive we can all go to the SEN lounge, or we might already be there if we are denied access altogether.

SEN lounge access w/PC card!^

It helps that two houses recently sold in my 'hood for 100k more than I purchased mine and one is on the market for about 80k above. :cool:
