Great fare and not really picked up by the blogs yet(!) so there's still quite a bit of availability. BOS works well from both SMF/SJC. LGA only appears to work with SMF.

Great find with lots of miles; SJC-IAH, IAH-BOS and reverse. Good for a short visit, available on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Not ideal for a same day turn.

Gone already. 
Edit: I booked BOS-SMF for March 4 and 5, but the price jumped when I attempted to book March 6 last night. After a good night of sleep, I decided to cancel it due to the expensive positioning flights and the reduction of PQM for the BOS-SFO-LAX direct flight. I could call 1K agent to split the direct flight with a good chance of success!

I received multiple emails from UA: Please Call United about my SJC-BOS flights. Flight schedule changes destroyed my same day turns and they were happy to move me to SFO-BOS flights. That worked out much better for me.
