Question A couple of questions

http://flyertalk.com/forum/showpost....stcount=102506

Also, is there a nifty monitoring tool to find out when ELP-PHL drops below $250 on DL?

It was like that a couple of weeks ago, asked Rosie to confirm with her mom when we are going, and she never did, right now it's $100 more

Going to spend a day in PHL and then a few days in NYC on the week of July 7th 2008

Can't use miles, since it's only SkyChoice, but are going to use some points and to stay in NYC

I'm guessing you already know about Expedia's Fare Alert and Travelocity's FareWatcher.... ?

HUMPTY DUMPTY sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the kings' horses,
And all the kings' men.
Had scrambled eggs,
For breakfast again.

The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical.
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
His daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man.
And as for the cash, well Nan took it.

I think I had better push back the dates of the PBI-FLL Meet to December -- or maybe even January.

Here's the problem: I lost weight.

No, I didn't lose enough weight -- my waistline still needs to go down a few inches but I lost enough weight to make my very famous $2400 cashmere sports jacket fit. In fact, not only does it fit but so does a pair of dress pants I bought in Milan to go with it, as well as my cashmere overcoat.

All of these were purchased back in late 2003 and I have been busy gaining weight ever since.

Imagine my dismay when I realized that I will probably make only one overseas trip before next spring and that will be to Florida and Saint Louis.

How can I wear these things in Florida in October or even Missouri in early November? I will broil in them.

Nor can I wear them in Israel no matter how cold it might get. They are simply too dressy for this country and would stand out like a sore thumb.

Can any of our weather freaks manage to arrange a real cold snap for my visit?

Uh, MRKEY, did you intend to write anything in response or were you just so overwhelmed by the description of my jacket that you were left wordless?

I have a nice, light weight, silk sports jacket but somehow it is just not the same.

Try this link.

I think he'd appreciate underwear that isn't older than him, though.

Perfect. I'll call the restaurant right now to change the reservation to dates that I can come!
