We did too. That, combined with a trip to the original location of the hot dog stand at PHL, made for a great afternoon. I think the movie went a bit over the kids' heads, though.

If it counts for anything, I will reach 1million lifetime miles on AA next year (probably about June or July). Thank god for the 200k miles from Hyatt this year and (sort of) the insurance rebuild of my water-damaged condo (:rolleyes:).

And I thought I was roughing it at an average of 809 miles. Guess those ATL-LAS flights I was doing every 2 weeks during my senior year of college helped out.

Thanks Delta for being generous with bumps and having a $175 GSO-LAS fare a couple of years ago!

Absolutely! The more the merrier! If we have to wait until Christmas, that works for me. Being Jewish, my typical Christmas is Chinese food and movie anyway.

I won't be able to go on Christmas Day, but that weekend would work.

Would a video Christmas card from Jackie Mason count??

Yeah!

Hey, baglady, I was perusing land in Fredericksburg, TX last night. May well consider buying a parcel of land for our retirement! I will get to live in TX if it damn well kills me .....:D

Note to Box: this would apparently be after dinner, when he was no longer associated with other Boxers.

I was at a party last week and we had Christmas Trivia - I sadly knew almost every answer and one was "What does Alvin want for Christmas?" I was the only one who knew the answer!

I was not impressed by Mr. Fox but the girls enjoyed it fine. I slept through at least 20 mins of it.

Sadly I guess I've waited to long to become a BD fanboy, since CO has joined *A, I'm guessing there will be no match for me.

guess I'll just have take 1000 Virgin Miles I guess when at Hilton
