Apparently the lead story on ABC news tonight was the TSA fiasco. I'm still trying to find out if they mentioned my blog or not.

I gotta tell ya, I wracheted my way from 0 to EXP, mostly on mad dogs and exit rows. God bless the exit row! It is do-able. :D

Yep, aisle exits are great. I actually did not mind TED flights because of this :eek:.

I impressed that they decided to start with a non Tiger woods story. Wasn't Disney a Tiger Woods sponser ?

Of course -- I assumed you were referring to your earlier equity sales that resulted in realized gains!;) Taking advantage of tax-loss selling is definitely -- a must-do!:-:^

At $0.50 (reservation fee), I may grab one for the DCA-SFO weekend and decide later if I am going to use it.

Wither FCTSTY?
 
It has been exactly one year since FCTSTY last posted...not that I'm complaining, mind you. Just wondering if he reincarnated or what. Doesn't seem like him to go on a permanent walkabout.

I do have a gameplan of what to sell - just waiting for Friday to see where the market is. I might be able to find a few more gains this year. Just want this part of the tax return to be a wash, as I know precisely how the rest (income, interest, deductions, credits, foreign tax paid) shapes up.
