Wow, good news is all over my house today. My other half just got an e-mail from SPG stating they had corrected the point posting problem last month that had prevented him from getting SPG Gold last year. He's now Gold, just in time for three stays he has coming up in the next 10 days. If he plays his cards right, we may be a double SPG Platinum couple before the year is over. And it looks like at least CO Silver may be in reach for him this year, if not Gold.

I'd be even more all over it if I was traveling to bigger cities with more choices this spring. However, some of the SPG properties in far North Houston are only an hour away from one of my clients. I'm weighing doing that commute just to get the points.

I did read the full post and recalled previously hearing of the saga. And you sure use a colorful simile to clarify your point :D

Ladies, Gentleman, and Distinguished :rolleyes:,

Over the past few minutes I have been working hard, pushing the boundaries of creative thought, traveling extensively between the toilet and my office, pouring my heart and soul into a special tribute documentary to the Box.

I humbly believe this is a fitting tribute to our special corner of the internet. One that has spawned much travel, even more beer consumption, shrubbery extractions, and even the occasional adoption of armadillos in Mendoza, Argentina (in the name of discounted Coors Light).

The Box has become an integral part of all our lives and has changed the way we view media. It has given a voice to the :rolleyes: and has been an agent of more.

It is with great pride that I unveil to you, my distinguished box brethern, my tribute documentary to our little corner of the world wide :rolleyes:.

VIVA LA BOX. VIVA LA PWP. P:rolleyes:STY POST POST. :-:

Speaking of an hour away, I need to start the process of getting to the weekend Hyatt hop - recycling center closes in a half hour.

Money saved via the Shatner Tool may indeed provide partial justification (in my case) for advancing past CO Gold.

Whatever that "chicken" dish on MS was, sure took the cake over the Tapir Sandwiches (random meat-product, presumed to be Tapir) that CO 1E and I were subjected to on an intra-Brazil TAM flight.
