Alas, I cannot definitively state that I think I know what is happening to you. I refuse to assume anything because you know what assuming does, right?

Do you plan to go to college?

That is purely voluntary, although these days it is rather the necessity, as increasingly is graduate school...

In the way you worded that, you messed that one up.

Here is how that thought should be presented...

Hello All,

I am back online at my new house now and COX Communications came over there at new house today. He fixing the Internet Connection & TV, too. So that's why I took some time off from the forums for a few days and I am welcome back on aviation related forums again. I'm surely if you guys heard about me that I was unable to get on the computer for 1 days. So I am looking forward to it. Thank you for your patience.

Regards

No. The FC lavs are always clean. This is why we do not let the holi poli visit.

Could it be that your unexpected visitors helped themselves while waiting for you to create their report?

Considering Piedmont Carolinas and GNV are part of the lands surrounding jfe's expansive Mansion™ the answer is yes. If you want a specific locale then it would be GNV.

Glad to hear the move is completed. Now comes the fun of unpacking the boxes and finding a place for everything. Doing it by alone is not a problem. When two individuals are involved then the fun starts.

Knowing the visitors from the lower level of Hades, they probably stayed at the Ritz-Carlton on M Street or the Four Seasons, also on M Street.

But, as promised, both reports were ready by 6AM, and realizing that I have around 2.5 hours to kill, I made the trek to the WH, which was quite filling (more so than Ihop). On the way back from the WH, I made a stop at Costco as well as the liquor store in Rosslyn to stock up on beverages.

Now that the minions from the 2nd level of Hades have been satisfied, I can actually get back to work. But, if they decide to return, I told the receptionist to tell them that they are not wanted and to go away.

Halfway through today's meetings, I got an email from the remainder of my staff in La Paz who went ahead and coordinated a meeting with government officials. Therefore, I have the department travel coordinator actively looking for Sky Team flights from WAS/PVD to LPB. Unfortunately, it seems that my voyage will most likely be on AA or LAN (Chile or Peru). I would prefer LAN Chile because I could maximize the amount of miles on DL...

What about DL to SCL & LA to LPB?

However, if you have to not fly DL, LA has a very strong J product with full flats on the 767's.

I cautiously agree with you. I'm with you on the college part, the graduate school; not so convinced. But, more so, I often feel it's a pet peeve of mine to when young tykes in college immediately assume that graduate school will definitely open up countless additional opportunities. I've always felt, and still do, that a lot has to do with you area of study.

I know of many examples of folks with just a BA/BS that are wildly successful, and living amazing lives (on both personal and business levels).
