(Some days, my brain actually WORKS!)
Well, that explains what happened to mine. Spent the day on mostly mindless stuff, but cut through a big backlog of same.
Booked most of my trip to Germany, except for the trains. Snagged non-stops to/from Paris with leisurely departure times for once. 1:30 PM from Seattle, and 10:30 AM from Paris. Upside is they're on Air France whose trans-Atlantic service is usually good. Downside is they're on Air France who dings me on elite qualification miles if they think I didn't pay enough for the ticket.
