Car might not be ready today. Appears some necessary bolts get rusted after 189,000 miles.

Initially he wasnt going to let us in because he needed the membership number from the Prez Club card. So I said I'd call home and ask my daughter to rummage in my wallet to find the number. He relented and let us in! Our train was 30 mins after yours, so it was worth waiting in there rather than on the cold platform.

^ on talking your way into the lounge!

Nice. CM and I managed to time our transit perfectly and strolled onto the 10:11 train with <5 minutes to departure time. I've never been to the Acela lounge...

This weekend may not be a good weekend to be in NYC from the weather people rumblings. Either nothing or a major dump. I might live in the possible 12 to 24 inch range. They've been incorrect on the predictions of the last few weekend storms for this area.

Hmmmm. I have a 7:30 pm EWR-DCA flight on Friday night, booked before I knew that I was done at 11:30 am on Friday instead of 3 pm. I think this might be my inaugural exercising of the SDC.

From facebook and and FT person. He hasn't been right the past few weeks but I know I heard the TV people last night mention this weekend may get messy.


Weatherboy Weather says snow is on the way. 1-2" for Philly and SNJ, 2-4" in southwest NJ and portions of MD/DE for tonight/tomorrow morning. Then blizzard conditions possible on Saturday with 4-8"+ for DC, 6-10"+ for Baltimore, 8-14"+ for Philly, NYC, and north NJ, and 12-24"+ for central/south NJ, portions of Long Island, DE/MD/CT/RI, and coastal MA.

Complete local forecasts are available at www.weatheronline.com

Oh, yes. That's what I meant. Off by 10 minutes, oops.

Also, if I don't book something by Friday, my "upcoming reservations" page will be empty for the first time since August 2008. :eek: Sigh...this would be a really great time for my parents to actually make a decision re: the family spring break. I don't care where we go, but I want something CONFIRMED, NOW. Waiting till one week out "just to see if any PSP [timeshare] availability opens up" and then scrambling to make arrangements and paying ridiculous prices, when there were AWESOME EWR-PSP deals back in December, is not the way I like to roll. :mad:

I do not want it to snow. Our basement concrete pour has been delayed until Friday due to technical difficulties..... the freaking***** concrete pump broke and so we have to wait until Friday now. Not a happy bunny. The delays on the Lake House are mounting and I am getting more and more ticked off by it.

I'm guessing that's you in 12C? Make sure you wave across the aisle to me in 12A. :D

I've stayed here and really like the property. Has some amazing history too, showing how the older part of the hotel survived the 1906 earthquake. The location is great - easy acccess to any part of SFO you want. I can definitely recommend this one.

FareCompare shows a $175 base fare to PSP on CO. It just showed up today, so I haven't looked to see if it is available, but you might want to check it out if you're looking at going to PSP.

I did win on straight line bingo (well at an angle)! If you called bingo and you didnt win you had totake off clothing to show skin. I was hoping more would lose!! :)
