CO does the Yankee charters. They are a really easy team and for the women in the Box, the men are fine.

CO did the Yankee charters for a majority of last season, but this year they used DL.

Odd considering that CO is the official airline of the Yankees. :)

AH, that would be why I haven't seen them this year flying into SFO.

Get a Mac! Once you go Mac, you never go back! (except maybe to use KVS...) (I am a reformed Windows user.)

Congrats! May I ask what degree are you getting?

Well, one of those two reasons may explain why they didn't make the playoff. :p

It's in the mail. Yeah, that's the ticket...

I'm not a Yankees fan; but agree with you on the above ;). My ex husband was certain I was having an affair with Derek Jeter (long story) so MR BL always tells me when "my boyfriend" is on TV or in a magazine. Severaly years later, it still cracks me up. And no, I wasn't :rolleyes:

Thanks to all re: walking. I'm finally done my BA in History. The degree itself was done in December, but the school only does one commencement per year, so I had to wait this long. At one point I wanted to go all the way to Ph.D. and write books/lecture. I'm considering going back for some kind of Business or Hospitality type of Master's...but not sure of the details. I'd like to be out of Atlantic City when I do this, since Atlantic City does not value an education on a citywide level. They love to tout how you can rise in the ranks without getting an education - :rolleyes: - so my thinking is why stay and get an education to work in an environment like that?

I had considered going Mac, but I have a fiancee who refuses to install iTunes on her Dell. With that kind of opposition, that's a battle I'm not picking.

What is your favorite area/time of History? Amazing that AC does not have more in the education area; but I guess it shouldn't be that surprising :(

I haven't figured out how to get BL JR to gold this year. If I take the rest of her fares for the year to H; she'd get there, but the $s to do that seem high. I figure for the same money, I could actually take her somewhere exciting; even if it's just a three day trip. I want to fly up front; so would either find a discounted BF fare or H or Y and upgrade with miles. She will need about 11,000 miles to get to gold. I'm going to start looking but any suggestions are appreciated!

Have you considered the BF sale to Europe for Christmas?

I think that my wife wishes she was, but that may be too much information to share in the Box. :eek:

Had a discussion at dinner tonight about the difference between an alcoholic and a binge drinker and came to the realization that the biggest issue with the definition of a binge drinker is that it doesn't take respect the people who binge drink (almost) every night. At that point it certainly isn't binge drinking any more, but it also might not be alcoholism. Then again, the 20 pounds I dropped when I quit my job and quit drinking so much suggest that the binge drinker every night bit is a problem of some sort. Who knows?
