Hey Michael!

->  HN> Oh the vicious barstools! why can't they sell them in 
->  HN> special sealed boxes so security will know they are
->  HN> "safe"?
-> 
-> Because when better boxes are made, better terrorists
-> will make them. Or at least that's the way the story goes.
-> 
Yeh, I know, I just felt I had to rail against the system a bit! 

-> Back in the olden days one had to open one's bottles at
-> the security check to show that it wasn't a terrorist
-> threat (the usual course was to make the passenger take
-> a swig). At Birmingham, one misguided pre-TSA checker
-> actually opened a bottle of vodka that I had with me
-> and tore up the seal so that - unbeknownst to me -
-> it started leaking in the cabin, causing the tantalizing
-> odor of booze to start wafting about before I noticed
-> that it was coming from my bottle. The amount of vapor
-> thus emitted probably caused a greater hazard than anything
-> that got caught that day would have.
-> 
Bet you didn't get reimbursed for the bottle either!

->  ->  HN> there's some new bbq places I've spotted!
->  -> Mmmm, I think I'll bring my niacin pills with me.
->  HN> Hot flashes and hot sauces! 
-> 
-> I've decided to forget the statins, because even though all
-> of them seem to lower cholesterol, only one (forget which)
-> has clinical evidence that it lowers the risk of heart attack
-> - but it also has its own side effects. So niacin it is: then
-> I can eat brisket fat to my heart's content.
->
You would have anyway! 
 
->  -> Of course, I do get upgraded a lot.
->  HN> Odd how that works out eh wot? (grin)
-> 
-> Funny thing, I had to learn how to sleep in first class.
-> In coach, I just go to my window seat, lean against the
-> side, and off I go. In first, the seat is wide and not
-> close to the side, so one has to use the wings of the
-> headrest (if provided) to avoid flopping over at a really
-> weird angle. As far as upgrades go, I've gotten one 89.47%
-> of the time this year. Not counting the flights where I
-> didn't put in for one, my success rate is 93.15%.
->
And I on the other hand seem to get upgrades
0% of the time! (grin)
 
->  HN> looking forward to seeing you, first I have the
->  HN> Beach Boys concert on Tuesday, Micro$oft on
->  HN> Thursday and then busy getting the room ready
->  HN> for your visit! It will be a jampacked visit!
-> 
-> Hold 'em hosses ... I'm not coming in until something
-> like the Tuesday after Beach Boys. That's a bunch of time
-> from now. What's happened to the room lately - no Hurricane
-> Amanda or anything?
-> 
Nope(g) nothing like that...but since I get home from
ballgames so late at night (often after midnight) and
Anne is already asleep, it's easier to go into the guest
bedroom and take off my uniform and lay out my stuff
for the next day. That way the light and movement does
not disturb her sleep. And we keep the bed made and 
such, but before anyone visits we always wash the 
linens anyway so they are fresh for company! There's
plenty of time to get it all done...but I need to remember
that it's on the list!(Grin)
chat with you soon!
