Back to WAS - left adapter for Dell laptop on AF028. I have more adapters at home but the problem is that I won't be home until the 5th.

Too bad ESPN won't do the same w/r/t Craig James.

I'm in WAS through Jan 1, then hopping across the river to NoVA.

Sorry he's sick and you had to delay the trip, but this does sound like a prime opportunity to do not a damn thing. :)

Sounds like what my plan would have been.

Yes, I'm fully aware that the amusement this provided me has ensured me one spot closer to the fire in he!l.

I probably would have laughed as well.

I do #7 and #8 on a regular basis.

#6 is my baseline status.

Also, people were taking on all sorts of exotic loans such as interest-only loans or loans that reset or had balloon payments, which could put someone in trouble very quickly for the reasons you mention above.

I was approved for 4x what I ended up spending and that was for a 15-year (accelerated retirement of principal).

Happy birthday.

Boarding for NRT in about 30 mins. Feeling pretty good after approximately 1 hour of sleep in the past 36 hours. We'll see how long that last.

Have an excellent flight.

Thank you sir. We made it.

In case it hasn't been said enough, DL's set up in T2/T3 can only be compared to something you'd find in a third world country. We were, however, able to skip a 30+ minute line at security though. :-:

I'm guilty of #2. I'd rather get my coat after we land than be sitting with it in my lap for the last half hour of the flight.

Have the alleged closets even been detailed as of yet?
