 On the Road Again! |
Despite what seemed like a year of continuous travel, Scott's way behind on frequent flyer miles on United. He made a quick (12 days) trip to Singapore and Thailand, see a few old buds, and enjoy humid, 90 degree weather. This trip put him over the million mile (that's actual miles flown, not frequent flyer points) — on United Airlines. For this he'll get "mid-tier" ("Premier Executive") status on United for life (although with United's current financial woes, it isn't clear whether its for his life or theirs...). A highlight of the trip was a one-day Thai cooking class, and meeting up with Australians Ann(e) and Bernard. Completed. |

Four days in idyllic Keene, NY (find Montreal, look south). It's just 4.5 hours away but a whole different world. |

Cozumel It's on Scott's SCUBA pilgrimage sites, but he managed to break his collarbone again in a recent bicycling accident. So Scott's looking for a alternative that doesn't require wearing 50lbs of gear to enjoy it. Update October 29: Finally made it. Great diving, many people escaping cold climates. |

We almost got jobs. Sort of... we were sucked into taking a break from retirement. Fortunately, it didn't pan out. We'd gotten onto the list of Trainers for the Segway™ HT (Human Transporter) — aka Ginger. Yes, it is as cool as you thought it might be. We accumulated about 10 hours each on the HT; ultimately the company chose a less expensive route to delivering the training, and our involvement seems to be over. |

Back
in school where he belongs? Scott persues a certificate
in Culinary Arts starting with a "test class".
During Thanksgiving week, Scott's headed out to Vancouver (BC) to sit in on a full-day class (before commiting to 4 months and several thousand dollars) |
