Good morning, Box. Warm and rainy here, yesterday's ice is just about gone. Guess I didn't really have to scrape the driveway off afterall.

Another day of diving in the Red Sea is complete. Was within 10' of dolphins on the last dive. Awesome experience.

You really do live a tough life. Any cute eels on this trip?

Our ice is gone down this way but for the big parking lot piles; a few of those still around.

I can tell you that when I left Atlantic City on Thursday, there were still some surface streets that hadn't been cleared since Saturday's snow :rolleyes:

For those curious about the Ivana Trump / SkyTeam USA incident, one of our FT colleagues happened to be in F on that flight. Even addresses the most important question after the passenger was deplaned:


In a move that would make most FT'ers proud - after the pax was removed from F and while we were still on the ground, a pax from coach came forward with his Medallion card and asked if an upgrade would be available. He was declined.

The residents of those blocks could not find sufficient amounts of cash, drugs or hookers with which to bribe the municipal employees. Or, it could very well have been that political opponents of the Mayor lived on those streets.

Morning Box!

We are still fighting some nasty colds here, so another day of being low-key at home, I think. We were hoping to go to the Browns/Raiders game, but we probably don't need to sit out in the cold and snow. :(

That means I can sit and read about ongoing TSA fun all day. :D

Major half-milestone approaching.

Browns may be able to win another :D

I stumbled across that Kardashians TV show and other than the fact that Bruce Jenner still has a nose that physiologically connected to his face, he could be Michael Jackson's twin with all that plastic surgery. :eek:

Indeed. :p

Actually, I saw the largest eel of my life. Absolutely enormous. Thankfully it was happy to stay back in its cove. There were a bunch of smaller white eels that were quite cute.

And the dolphins. Swimming with dolphins was quite a rush. Truly amazing, even if only for about 30-60 seconds.

My OnePass balance has exceeded 100K for the first time. :-: I will finish the year (one flight and Gold bonus plus 500 Mileathon miles yet to credit) just short of 103K.

2010 goal: finish the year at 210K.

If I weren't about to spend 400k my goal would be eo end with 800k, but I must spend as I am not sure how long their value will remain :D

That is unless I find some SaverPass tickets!

Dolphins = cute
Eels ≠ cute

I'm thinking that 270k is nice target. 135x2 for F to Europe for a honeymoon. Free air will open some fundage for a different choice of honeymoon.
