 ML> and far between. Otherwise, sing boo to you, pooh-pooh
 ML> to you, and that's what I shall say!
 NB> Ok, fine... ;)  Be that way... ;)

Too late - I already am that way.

 ML> And here I am, at the house, thinking that my brain could
 ML> use a touch of mushing about right now (my brother just got
 ML> home). 
 NB> Yeah, could be helpful...  ;)

Escaped! Playing quartets with NEC facs and more all
weekend. Life is good.

 ML> I'll have to go to the airport 5 hours early and stand by
 ML> for a seat, not the end of the world, but annoying not
 ML> least because it was my fault.
 NB> Sigh.  Another of the perils of doing things online... ;0  Hope you
 NB> get your standby seat easily enough anyway... 

All I have to do is stand up straight and say "but I am
a platinum member." Had to do this already today, saved
me $200 (which I am entitled to, but it took me 3 agents
on the phone to get the fees waived).

 ML> Oddly, the Manchu Wok has become one of my ports in a
 ML> storm for the spicy bean curd, which often is quite
 ML> edible. Other times, it's wretched, and I've encountered
 ML> the occasional helper behind the counter who claims that
 ML> the dish does not exist, in which case I just go somewhere
 ML> else, such as McDonald's for a couple hamburgers.
 NB> So a chance thing... but good enough when it does work out...

I don't know why the variability, as most of the food comes
out of the commissary with minimal handling on site. I guess
age might come into it.

 ML> Not a chance. On the first flight, mainline, the crew were
 ML> surprised that nothing had been catered, not even the snack
 ML> basket, and on the second, an Express flight, the guy working
 ML> up front was equally surprised that food had been loaded.
 NB> Ah.  Ok, then... :)  Just a total anomaly... and confused catering
 NB> staff... 

LSG SkyChefs I believe.

 ML> The first flight was smack dab in the middle of breakfasttime
 ML> and was to the airline's largest hub; the second was after
 ML> lunchtime and was to a mere "focus city." I will admit that
 ML> the second flight was longer - 4 miles longer -, but the first
 ML> was scheduled at 5 minutes more, being more into the wind.
 NB> I guess some others' brains were mush... or someone put the wrong
 NB> orders into the computer... ;)  For once, that sort of confusion worked
 NB> somewhat to your benefit...  ;)

Insofar as I prefer lunch to breakfast.

 ML>> of ranch dressing; three 1/2 oz slices of roast beef
 ML>> (salty, medium, actually tasting of beef) on the side.
 NB>> Sounds pretty decent.  :)
 ML> It was okay, slightly skimpy, but as I noted, we weren't
 ML> expecting food at all.
 NB> And you'd just eaten at the Manchu Wok besides...  :)
 
Not anticipating lunch and feeling just slightly cheated
by the absence of breakfast.
