Feels good to have finally gotten that 16 page paper submitted. I did a case study of Boeing's supply chain. Certainly not as in-depth as some of the stuff that you could find on Google.
Less than 72 hours until I'll be home too. This semester flew by considering when we got so many snow storms it felt like it would never end.

I knew you would respond to this.
Why don't you visit Dovster? We even allow smoking here, and AMS meets your requirement of "short" flights from TLV. Though, we have a rather lousy casino.
My last flight TLV-AMS on ElAl (first class), was a hoot. I had an empty seat next to me (nice). After take off, I used to it for headphones, misc. item. Halfway through the flight, the senior purser removes all my "stuff" from the empty seat, sits down, puts on eye shades and proceeds to take a nap. Incredible. He was a "bit" elderly though, almost like a grandfather. He did welcome me on board and wish me "bon appetite" before his "girls" served me the (very nice) first class meal service.

Send them to the corner and let your "Dutchie" restaurant friends get some very helpful "hands on" language practice.

My Friday night lasted until around 4am; hanging with my "Dutchie" restaurant friends. After-hours is always the best. Also, very helpful "hands on" language practice.
Congrats. My daughter just finished her semester at UVM. I get "invaded" by Delta-Delta-Delta sorority girls next weekend in Amsterdam.

Isn't that a good time to go elsewhere? LOL!

Yep, it becomes friends of employees only after closing. Which is super-fun. Though, keeping up with a bunch of 23-29 year olds can be a "bit much" sometimes.
Don't you worry, I will.
That is a most excellent point. But, in all honesty, I find the teenagers to be quite entertaining. They find me entertaining also, and are glad I'm willing to prepare nice meals for them.
Is there any other way to fly (nonstop) from Boston-Logan? 
Update on the family medallion stats :
13 year old dropped to FO, but is about to make Gold again, and might actually qualify for Platinum Medallion. Almost 18 year old son is Gold Medallion. 20 Year old daughter is Gold Medallion. Wife is Platinum Medallion because she has been "cheating" on Delta a bunch.
Which leaves me, the ONLY DIAMOND MEDALLION in the family.

Well got out of DEN safely (40 minutes late after baggage and de-ice)even though 4 inches of snow fell last night. I had a 4 wheel drive vehicle which got me safely from the hotel. So now in ORD. For the first time in my life I am in a United Club on Concourse F. It feels weird. I burned a One Time Pass from my UA Explorer Credit Card.
