  1. Thanksgiving travel seems to be starting early. O'Hare is uncharacteristically jammed on a Friday afternoon.
  2. Got off my SEA-DEN flight; re-boarded on the same plane for DEN-ORD. Seat 4C from SEA; in 4B to ORD. Found the Economist mag I left behind
  3. @Denrael Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look up the Steelhead Diner when I get back from my Bellevue mtgs
  4. RT @UnitedAirlines: AirTrafficControl issues causing some delays nationwide. Check before you fly
  5. Crush was good-sous vide short ribs were great; fluke a bit overdone; cheesecake good; Douglas Fir sourbet interesting; counter seat great
  6. Doing the 4-course tasting menu @ Crush in Seattle-salad, fluke & crab, short ribs, and meyer lemon cheesecake with Douglas Fir Sorbet
  7. @UnitedAirlines Second maintenance delay in as many flights. Did someone decide to skip preventative maintenance for planes last month?
  8. Finished making duck confit & saucisse de toulouse -- prep work for next weekend's cassoulet for dinner after the afternoon's wine tasting
  9. Seems that there's always a sting in the tail. Our #United plane needs to be "re-booted". Wonder if I still have my seat on the later flight
  10. W00t! I scored the last 1st class seat on the earlier LAX-ORD flight. Get home 2 hrs earlier and in comfort.
  11. Gave up a 1st class seat for an exit row middle seat to get home 2 hrs earlier on a Friday night. Wasn't a tough decision.
  12. 55 degrees F in SF and people are walking the streets wearing scarves and winter hats. Same temp brings out shorts & halter tops in Chicago.
  13. ACLU suit forces TSA screeners stop looking for "evidence of crimes unrelated to transportation security" http://is.gd/4SKmL
  14. @HotelITGuy Nothing I know of-perhaps a trade show. Rental co's are brutally optimizing fleets, leading to many "stock outs" at airports.
  15. Just booked an Avis rental car for a day out of LAX -- $19 daily rate, $15 in taxes & surcharges. 44% of the cost is in taxes & surcharges!
  16. Why are the all taxis in DC such dumps?
  17. @skooljester Why don't you guys start researching design requirements for a home recording studio?
  18. @skooljester Sure if you're willing to put some sweat equity into it...
  19. USAToday writes about rental car taxes getting jacked up (http://usat.me/?36695724), agreeing with a recent TravelCommoms posting
  20. New TravelCommons #podcast-skipping rental cars, WiFi vs 3G, LAX security, and white noise applicationshttp://is.gd/4KZbX
