I did, only a few hours late, even! Put me on the road through the mountains awfully late, but still well worth it. I will have to contact AA because I was constantly promised to be put on the upgrade list without having to use my certs (I'm only Gold with them) but somehow they used certs after all for the leg that cleared.
I also had to fight to be let into the DFW Admirals club because I carelessly neglected to bring my Boardroom card - I know that they want to see the physical card, but the new MCO club was really gracious about the exception, and DFW was... less so. Can't rightly complain about that, but heck, I don't think even a day pass would have been an unreasonable request after a bump and having to chase being put on the upgrade list as promised.
Here with my baby now, though, so all is well in my world for a few precious nights <3

My French cousin still resents being IDB'd from the roster at your DO at Boca Raton because he was a mere bottle of cognac.

Bengals crushed it in the draft this year. So very pleased. Watch out Squealers, Dirty Birds, and Stains.

Speaking of the draft, how appropriate is it that Taco got drafted by a team from Texas? I had some delicious breakfast tacos after a disappointingly slow 8 miles through downtown-ish SAT this morning.

So, obviously Steelers are Pittsburgh, but are Dirtys Birds and Stains supposed to be Balmer and Cleveland? Because I'm pretty sure the Falcons have been Dirty Birds for close to 2 decades, and Stains sounds a lot like Saints, but I'm not aware of any AFC North-NFC South rivalry.

lol, my 6' big brown baby - otherwise I stick to cats ;-)
We haven't had nearly enough time together this year, so even this short trip has been really good for my soul. I've gotta figure something out, this really isn't working for us =/
We missed out on our favorite beer bar - Bayou - this trip because I'm not really feeling up to par. Lots of drafts and something like 400 bottled brews - including a bunch of limited releases that I'm always surprised to find in a place like SLC. Next time!
