missed a beat

yesterday JB had 1 of their "cheep" flights ... $9 for SFO -> LGB this
coming sunday ... i could have slummed down there (with at least one
stop at "roscoe's house of chicken 'n' waffles") and started the JB pass
on tuesday with a schedule tweak ...

i've never advanced in my life by being dull.

quote of the moment

You know flying IS a lot more dangerous than it used to be. Everyone I
know that flies a lot has had the Goddamn TSA steal stuff out of their
luggage.

big victories

i now have an aisle seat from JFK to LAS.  (still need one from the schedule change on the first flight from OAK to JFK.)

but the big big one is mr. crypto is going to let my accomplice and me crash at his mansion in NY.  that means not one, not two, but three nights free in the big apple.  this is huge.  (the only downside of NYC in my eyes now is the closing of vittorio's -- home of the legendary pasta wheel.)

i just found out ...

... i live in "the valley of heart's delight."

seriously. i had no idea.

how can i travel when i don't even know about my home?

schedule tweak

my accomplice decided to bag the architectual highlights of PA for now.  as a result we've just cancelled the PIT run and are extending our time in new england (and resulting in a closed jaw flight).

again, no problems (and no charge!) with the booking changes ... the only catch is things are getting full enough that we have two middle seats on the flight at the moment -- one in front of the other -- if we keep an eye open we may be able to snag better seats once everyone else starts changing as well.
