On the verge...

of becoming PM. I'm so excited. How do you people contain yourselves when you reach DM?
I have an upcoming flight to Vegas and will reach PM after the outbound flight.
I assume there will be balloons and a reception upon my arrival, yes?

Welcome and congratulations! You've been through a lot to get there.

. . . and remember Jim Brown's admonition to the running backs he coached:

"When you get to the end zone, act like you've been there before."

Unless that GM happens to be a KRYPTONIUM MEDALLION.

Becoming a KRYPTONIUM is the most exciting jump in status.

It's good to be King!

I was happy to get to Gold, now I'm hopping I WON'T get to PM.....I'm tired of being gone! Not looking good though, there's actually a chance I may make it after all, at this rate.....My luck I'll end theyear with 99 Segments....(I'm a segment flyer, not so much on the miles...)
