Bring your bride. Emphasize the "elite" in "elite sky club", so she thinks you're taking her somewhere special, when in reality it will be a cheap date.


How's the old B/E lounge by E15 for everyone?

Thanks... it is actually a double anniversary. Twenty-two years with Mrs. UP and eight years ago on Wednesday, we moved little UP in for pre-adoption foster care.

As much as I would love to actually meet Mr. and Mrs. Gargoyle, there are a few things more important, and both of those ladies are!

If I were thinking of taking advantage of currency risk, I wouldn't be looking toward the peso.

Why not? It's backed by kilos! That's more than we can say for the $.

I wish I had a day or two just to relax and catch up with things. I haven't had much time to post on FT, even. In 2 hours, I have to leave to referee a college basketball game. Would rather stay home.

I don't feel sorry for you in the least.

I am typing this in my UIG's Tel Aviv home (about a 3 hour drive from my own) and she is in Italy until mid-December. Even worse, I could not find any woman to join me in her house tonight.

Talk about a wasted trip!

Do you bring your own sheets?

Oh, just ranting. I am building a laptop and have some business travel coming up and I'm just not motivated. Of course with a holiday coming in 2 days....

At least I'll get some exercise tonight.

If you've followed my posts elsewhere on FT, you would know that I invested in World Bond funds (denominated in U.S. dollars) expecting a decrease in the dollar's value compared to european currencies - this means I've been getting dividend payments as well as "appreciation" due to the dollar's

We just returned from a quick road trip to Ocala, FL (yes, a road trip as there is no scheduled air service from GNV to Ocala) in the rain and with traffic about 3 - 4 times heavier than normal. Won't be going out this evening for anything and will factor in extra time tomorrow for our trip to JAX.

They die that El Paso might be safe.

I'm still waiting for Cholula to show us where all the bodies are.
