we still have half a bottle of Dos Hombres mezcal, so I guess you could say it's serious but not necessarily critical for this week 
fyi, the "hombres" are Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston of "Breaking Bad" fame, and this spirit is muy bueno (used it in our snow-day margaritas)
Fri actually starts at 4PST with an alumni wine-tasting happy hour; UPS says the bottles (from Lakewood Vineyards, Watkins Glen NY) are supposed to arrive this afternoon

Both sound delicious! Our exciting UPS deliveries this week are our first Home Chef order using the Amex Platinum offer and some new coats and warm clothes from the REI winter sale before we move to a colder climate. I'm also enjoying leftovers for lunch, but mine are coconut curry lentils made in the Instant Pot...one of my favorite recipes and so easy.

According to my military friends who have been stationed at Kirtland AFB in ABQ, Breaking Bad wasn't a tv-show; it was a documentary.

I love BCS too -- it may even be a better show than BB -- but when rewatching BCS (I usually binge the previous season as a refresher before the next one comes out) a lot of the slow pacing, which is fine the first time through, gets really tedious on re-watch...

Well, it's not even 10am and I'm already in my third Zoom/Teams meeting of the day. My fat cat also decided he was hungry and woke me up at 4am, so I expect to be pretty tired this afternoon. Hope you have a great day though!

G'morning all. First decent weather day up north and I'm stuck working indoors. At least the last of the ice will melt off my truck roof. It was 6" thick and locked into the roof rack when I got here last week.
I won't make Happy Hour tomorrow - I'll be on a flight and the only Zoom is 'into the wild blue yonder'.
Also flying Monday and Tuesday. I'm beginning to feel like it's the old days of 100+ segments a year.
Funny with DL and schedule changes. Had a schedule changes this past weekend for our April flights. We were on separate PNR's since DW decided to make the trip after I'd already booked. Automatically changed by DL from Direct mainline MSY-LGA-MSY on mainline to regional with 6+ hour difference in departure times. Since April events in New Orleans had been cancelled after the bookings, fares had dropped and they credited the fare differences on both tickets. Based on carrier and time changes I called and switched to mainline 1 stops and got even exchanges without the second segment fee added.
