Why are the itchies worst when I'm trying to sleep?

All packed (I always forget what a damn nuisance the big duffel bag is to drag). So far I know I've forgotten my favorite shorts and a swimsuit for use at the Reno hotel; and I didn't get a chance to make several CDs I wanted. If that's the worst packing error, I'm doing okay. (Really damn annoyed about the shorts, though! Snarl.) But _what else have I forgotten_?

I begin to believe that, when an airline claims that they reserve "certain seats" for reward travel, i.e. cashing in frequent flyer miles, they mean seats on a different plane. Or possibly a different airline. Every time I've tried to upgrade that way, they say "sorry, there are no more reward seats available"--even calling two months in advance. I smell a rodent, frankly.

On the bright side, as of right now, no one's booked in the seat next to me. Maybe I will be able to snooze a little.
