I have so many now and always earning they are starting to resemble…drachmas:-)

Elaine: Thanks for the links! Yes, the Ann Arbor Art Fair is still going strong!

Thanks for the reply. I think the Milepoint link you had in mind is:
http://milepoint.com/forums/forums/meetups.148/

I saw elsewhere in the comments a mention of the A2 art fair. So that continues! Loved it back in the 70s. My husband and I bought our first real grownup pieces of art at the art fair in ’76.

Not sure if you are as into videos as photos, but your photo yesterday of the boulders reminded me of this one. It shows Lynn Hill, a woman who was, for a while, the best rock climber in the world:

Her moves are so fluid that it is really beautiful to watch her.

Happy weekend.

‘Hopefully I can pay her in miles/points to help me out as I don’t want to sink money into this..’
Dude miles/points = money, have not learnt anything so far??? Or do I have to send you to a seminar? :p

Glad you liked it! I like to post unique pics. I agree yomadic’s “failed travel bloggers” pic is my favorite too! I was actually thinking about reposting it last week when I had trouble coming up with a worthy pic to post here! I may do it next time I have this problem.

I agree with everything you stated, for the record!

The Ann Arbor Art Fair event is small and I think the informality of it is the best part of it! Unfortunately, it is so small it is already in waiting list mode:(

I can’t fix the blogger awful commenting system. I am meeting with a web designer on Monday who specializes in WordPress. Hopefully I can pay her in miles/points to help me out as I don’t want to sink money into this as future revenue from this appears to be minimal/remote (at least for the foreseeable future). After what I have called the banks here I just don’t see them hooking up with me in my lifetime lol.

Yes, thanks for the follow up.I can see some full time bloggers should attend this and blog about it. For the occasional miles/points collector why market it to them? Well, why not I guess…

I believe both Ben of One Mile at a Time and Scott of Milevalue hold informal get togethers in the Seattle area. Also check the two forums in Flyer Talk Community Buzz:

Can someone post the equivalent link to Milepoint?

I did the Boeing Factory tour during the Star Mega DO II event. It was awesome.

As I said, I have no time to plan a DO, I don’t even have time to do an “About Me” page!! If we pull one off it will be open. It will be nice to have a Twitter connection, all of us who are busy on twitter…It should be open. As you know, I am all NOT for censoring and other autocratic methods lol.

Maybe I should also start a section in my blog and call it something like “Straight Talk to Newbies” or something like that with lots of caution not to get sucked in:-)

Thank you, I really appreciate your comment!
