Unfortunately, a throbbing head is contra-indicative of flying to Chicago, Austin, DFW, and LGA in four days, so I'm thinking that the weekend trip to Chicago and Austin may be put on hold. Which is a real shame since I need 293 miles to retain AA Platinum status for 2006.

Perhaps I can fly return to Albany.

Anyway, I will decide in the morning whether I'm leaving Friday or not. If I don't go, I'll likely postpone until January (fear not, I will suck it up and do a mileage run before the end of the year).

Since I might not be out of town, if you happen to be flying in from the greater Los Gatos, CA metropolitan area for meetings in Westchester next week and would not mind dinner, drop me a line. Hint. Hint.
