The Distance from "C" to "D"

In this case, C = Continental; D = Delta. On this week's flight up to and back from Philly, Continental was a dream come true. Let me count the ways:

• Getting bumped up to first class 2 minutes after taking your seat in coach.
• Hot towels
• Free gin and tonic
• Free white wine
• Jambalaya (with some actual kick)
• Hot rolls
• Soup
• Apple Bread Pudding
  
• The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
• No delays
• No cancellations
• Home on time
  

Hopefully, knock on wood, all bad karma was spent up on Delta and my flight next week (going to San Francisco) includes more hot towels and free liquor.
