Yesterday afternoon, one of my clients called to invite me to come along to dinner tonight at Palomino, followed by a Dallas Mavericks (basketball) game. An underwriter and his broker were taking him out and it was nice of him to invite me along…it was fun. The game was fairly uneventful and then got quite exciting in the last few minutes of the 3rd period, and the Mavs ended up winning by 20 points.
Also yesterday, my boss decided I should attend an asbestos conference in DC next month. The host hotel is the Ritz-Carlton. We have a client that is also going and it was also decided that I should stay at the same hotel. Seems like a waste of money to me, but at least it is being wasted on me. We stay at La Quinta when we’re in Houston but when “people” are around, I guess we get to make up for it.
James & I are giving consideration to going to Australia this summer. He needs to go back there to get a new visa so he can change schools to a four-year university. It’s time to move onwards. Anyway, I’m trying to build enough miles so we can fly business class. 16 hrs in coach ain’t fun. I’ve decided to route myself to DC via Miami. Almost twice as many miles for the same fare 🙂

I can comment now! I thought my account was “pending approval” but I guess not. Interesting the way accounts work with this software.
Oh, please go to Australia! If you do, then Bobby and I can tag along. We promise to be quiet 🙂
Oh, sorry…I guess I have to
Oh, sorry…I guess I have to do something to let you know you get approved. I receive a msg to say a user applied, I go in and approve. I wondered if it sent a msg back automatically to you to inform you of the approval but I guess not 🙁
Ian – you will never be the same after you try a Lemon Ruski.
