Wow. That's the old Crown Room, NOT the BE lounge.

Thanks for the heads up.

Tell the DL crew it is your b'day. That way the whole plane can sing to you. What could be better?

Hello all! Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving. I know from the added girth around my waist that our time in the Sonoma valley was very good.

For any Boilermaker alum or residents of Indiana we found the Kokomo winery and no, this is has nothing to do with the Beach Boys, and yes, it has to do with Kokomo, IN. Next to the Kokomo winery is the Papa Pietro Perry winery. Their Pinot Noir and Zinfandel wines we sampled are, IMHO, exceptional.

Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?

Why does a round pizza come in a square box?

What disease did cured ham actually have?


Off to read what's happened in The LoungeTM this past week.

Did something happen in the last week? Was it important?

That brings back good memories as well. ^
I remember when PHX was one small terminal and you walked to or from the planes.

I thought about disowning her for that despicable statement.

FWIW, I agree with her that "coach is fine" - especially on shorter flights. But I don't turn down F when I can get it.

It always better to be leading our group during the morning run in Korea Monday mornings after the KATUSAs spent the weekend eating kimchi and drinking soju

Thanksgiving came and went. Lounge Lizards and Lizardettes safely traveled to various points with the exception of UP who turned around and went home to prepare jfe a meal after seeing a "Jesus is coming" sign.

I managed to get through Thanksgiving and still be under 200 pounds.

In other news, I bought my new Entertainment Book through the Delta portal and received the book days ago but not yet the miles. I had become accustomed to getting the miles before the book - often before the book was shipped.

I have to say I've not bought the Entertainment Book in years. But, if I want entertainment, I always come to The Lounge. I will say, I'm still waiting on my DL milage for posting here.

I was going to admonish everyone to get off their duffs and off of page 2, but if you're this confused as to what day it is, never mind.

Now back to everyone's regularly scheduled lethargy!
