1,000 miles ... (posted by Lani)

that's a long, long way to run. We can definitely track it here though, using a tracker something like this one (except of course not):

which I can walk you through setting up for his training and for the Real Thing when that time comes. Easy peasy!

I'm glad ya'll had such a good time in Seattle, aside of course from the chilly flight out. I was, thankfully, feeling better after the second round of meds, so I went back to Philly on Thursday night and flew all day Friday and Saturday, then came back home for a restful three days off. Unfortunately Steve is now sick; hopefully we aren't going to pass this back and forth.

Laurie and I are planning a trip to New York in January, when she'll officially be my traveling companion for the year and can fly free any time she wants. I'm looking forward to it for a lot of reasons; Laurie has wanted to go to New York ever since she was a little girl, and I'm going to try to make sure that (in three or four days) she gets to do all the things she wants to do. More than anything else she wants to see Les Miserables on Broadway; second only to that is to have lunch at the Russian Tea Room, which fortunately just reopened in November. Obviously I want to take her to Central Park too, and to the Met, and the Museum of Natural History, and the Museum of the City of New York ... anyone have other suggestions?
