Just got a message from United Airlines. My flight is now delayed until 3:25 pm. At this rate I could have taken a train to the city and seen a matinee.

Or maybe it doesn't always work out.

Do you have access to that nice United club?

Oh, I completeely forgot that I have two passes a year from the credit card! I'll check. Oh, I just remembered, I'm in terminal A, which only has United Express flights, so I'm not sure there's a club here, but I'll see.

Did I mention finally figuring out why so many people "decided" to do their own returns, or at least try to? That it was finally seeing that Mnuchin and Trump had sent letters to everyone whom had been under a certain amount of income in 2017 and offered access to totally free and simply worded online software, so it was risk-free to give it a try. (If I mentioned it on HHW before, sorry about that - but it was a curiosity that they all thought of it, but it now makes total sense.)

That last post of mine could have been 3 posts.

I've got to get better at that.

I mean, really stretching an idea out

New Paltz!

When would that be, if you go?

Next week, if possible.

The Club place in Fort Lauderdale had been so great in November, because of how concentrated the people were at so few gates that day. And it was somehow free with the credit card I'd used. I may have to plan for that next time from Florida in case there are such packed waiting areas.

But apparently, they've greatly expanded the Fort Lauderdale airport since last fall, supposedly in November or December 2018.

Still suffering. I didn’t have any real Benedryl in the house and the generic just doesn’t work for me.

Oh, no!

The Borowitz joke "Trump names Lori Loughlin Education Secretary" is actually too close to being better than who we actually have.

Sad, but true.

The last was the Byzantine and Christian Museum. In visiting all these museums, I realized how little I know about Ancient Greece, etc. I never knew, for example, how large the Greek empire was at one time.

When they did that "Grease" revival where all the students looked 35 or more - that's the closest I've gotten (so far) to seeing ancient Grease.

Thanks again, FJL! I found the United Club and just had a salad and a brownie. It's of course, much quieter and relaxing in here as compared with the gate area. It softens the blow of my delayed flight. The departure is still supposed to be 3:25. Let's hope!

Great reading about the travels of DR KEVIN H - and the former travels of DR FJL.

Allergy be done vibes for DR JOHN G.

They have salads in the United Club?

Amazon has been horrible about reviews. They were over a week behind on mine and while most of them have finally posted, they're STILL three to go - no, I'm wrong, about six or seven to go. When those will appear is anyone's guess.

Yes. They had some greens and then celery, carrots, garbanzo beans, tomatoes and cheese (maybe something else). They also had two kinds of soup.

Now I see why people hate United. I left the United Club and went to my gate (21) only to see St. Louis as the destination. The woman at another gate confirmed that my flight was leaving from Gate 21. I heard the woman at gate 21 tell someone that the DC flight would leave after this one. I looked at the board and saw that the St. Louis flight was supposedly leaving at 3:24 and the Washington flight at 3:25. From the same gate! Then I got a text saying the flight was now leaving from Gate 24. I went to Gate 24 and asked the agent. He said yes, that was correct. I asked when it might be leaving. He replied "we're waiting for the inbound aircraft." The departure time is still listed as 3:25 and it's now 3:17
