First things first: dcoombs asked for my thoughts on LX (Swiss Air), which I flew for the first time on the way here. I slept through the night flight over to ZRH, so I can’t really say what that was like, except the seat was quite good (the only time I’ve seen proper lumbar support…

Catching up
I’ve been bad at returning emails (and other similar messages) for years. I’m trying an experiment to do something about it. From now on, I’m spending 30 minutes per day catching up on email, answering blog comments, and replying to entries. If I run out of all of those, I’ll start new email conversations with…

I am Jack’s travel agent
I just booked my flights to Houston. Following Sun policy, I phoned Amex Travel instead of booking with an online travel agent. After 10 minutes on hold, I booked $868.59 worth of flights. This would have cost $666.44 via orbitz.com. So yeah, big companies suck. Mon Jan 28, 6:00: UA 7635, YUL-ORD, arr 7:36 8:15:…

Alright! I’ve escaped Reno for the weekend! As soon as I was done teaching the course on Friday, I ran back to my hotel room, threw some stuff in a bag, got in the car, and headed west. Reno is interesting.. a cultural experience, I suppose. It’s all very tacky – gaudy in a run-down…
