:D

I am, for the first time in almost two years, within the financial means necessary to clear out my B&N wishlist. The only title left on there will be a coffee table book that does not have a chance in hell of appearing on the coffee table in this apartment, so there is no point in buying it...for now.

CoCo lost my gate checked bag. :mad:

Against my better judgement, I am proceeding with at least the next 4 segments of my MR.

Already filed the claim. All I have is a toiletry kit from baggage services. :(

Perhaps I should talk with SFOBag about this!!

U Sedmi Svabu is a Medieval-Themed restaurant with traditional czech food and beer. :-:

It's near the Castle, in a very cool part of town.

Sounds good to me!! My three votes go here!

It is a cool lounge in general. I really like the museum in the old main area!

LOL!!

Been at SFO now 6 hours. Went to lunch with the Beautiful SFOGate and then saw her husband for a tour of the gate gourmet kitchen here. Then back to the terminal and a tour of the lounges and museum here. The museum is very cool both in the international terminal and throughout the terminals. I also went to the Red Carpet lounge and gave them my BD Gold and BP and got two drink coupons. See what I get for not giving them my BP before. I didn't even have to ask for the drink coupons! The UA RCC in the international terminal is huge. I may go back later on to see the Kris Lounge and grab some dinner perhaps! I went to the other UA lounge in the domestic side and it was large as well. It felt very compartmentalized in places!!

So what to do with the remainding 6 hours here. I may head over to the Crown Room for a crown and coke and some more pics for SBM12!!

Got upgrades on all the upgradable flights except the EWR-SFO ones. Not Bad!!

Not actually sure - I've never had an issue, even when it froze and they weren't wrapped. I thought I might try to be responsible this time. :D

Evening, Box. I attempted to catch up on the last day and a half but it proved to be futile.

Do we have any Texas or Alabama fans in the box? I honestly can't decide who I want to win this game. "Schools at which I was accepted but didn't go" usually outrank "fellow conference members" in my hierarchy of cheering, but it also feels wrong to turn my back on the SEC.

This I will say, though: Audra McDonald sure sang the heck out of America the Beautiful. One of the best stadium anthems I've heard in a long time (and she was gorgeous and classy as well!) And it's funny that most people only know her as an actress on Private Practice...

UT...and it isn't looking pretty. D is playing well overall but McCoy is out too early...

now, I fully agree about Audra, it was incredible!

Scott, where are you staying in PRG? Also, what time do you get in. Right now I am going to spend the day in London and come into PRG at 10pm or so on Friday night but if the weather in London sucks I may come in earlier.

FedEx MD-11, actually did MEM to LCY. Some moron was so kind as to put a giant building right in front and to the left of RWY 10. Nailed it though. :cool:

I was under the impression that she was generally recognized as the finest Broadway actress of her generation (her or Kristen Chenoweth).
