Pretty much...that and posting on the Blackberry isn't the easiest thing to do to add the .
I got my workout this morning in ATL - my 65 minute connection got sliced to 24 minutes and I had to trek from E27 to B1. Somehow there was still overhead bin space right about my seat ^

That's about 4/5 of mile!

Good morning - I just left there this morning on the 0838 to MSP. Weather is much nicer sitting here in the F/G Sky Club waiting for the flight to NRT.

If you're flying into Boston today, the snow has stopped. Taht's a good thing, no?
So.....ST......despite "integration" DL can't print my AZ boarding pass when I check in. I have to wait till AZ opens in BOS. So much for "smooth transitions" between flights. So.......why could AZ print my DL boarding pass? Another of life's mysteries.
The "refreshments" MCO - BOS (1015 departure) was Turkey on Rosemary chiabatta bread or Greek Salad with chicken. Having had both, I recommend the latter.
AZ has as it's "region" in Feb (and March, though that's not on the website) Venice (Veneto) region. Mixed grilled meats or Monkfish is the main. The sides are awesome.

Delta and american express
I am new to flyer talk and hope I am posting this in the right spot. I am Diamond elite on Delta and am wondering what american express card I should use. I was with NWA and with the merge got the Amex gold card, but should I upgrade? What are the advantages to a "better" card? I spend about 75k a year on my amex gold card now. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

That is not considered 'beauty' sleep, is it?

Based on what you said, DIA Elite, 75K, I would just stay with the Gold Card. If it isn't a DL AMEX Gold Card, I would switch it over to that.
If someone named Mike chimes in on this, RUN!

$50k/year spend on the AMEX Delta card will get you 20k MQM's, as well as 50k or more* RDM's (ReDeemable Miles).
*more because of various double RDM promos.
