I'm sure of it!

Thanks ever so much to all who could find the time to meet us, despite what turned out to be short notice. It was great to meet some of you for the first time, and the rest of you again. Also good to be back home again.

Quite the trip: Chicago (for a convention), Yellowstone, Disney Wonder cruise to Alaska, Disney Family Museum tour, Disneyland, and New Orleans. What a hoot!

Wazzup, the meal with you was very good, but I have to rank it below Napa Rose, which was the culinary high point of the trip. As for the low point, it was probably restraining the "dope slap of death" I wanted to mete out to servers and runners who had no clue who had ordered what.

Now, to deal with five weeks worth of laundry and mail!

Well, I'm just glad you made it back safely -- not always a guarantee when you don't take along your own personal singing lawyer. Don't let it happen again. :D:

You know, we *could* have stopped in Dallas instead of San Antonio, but did we get an invitation?

Oops. Sorry. :o: It would have been decent timing, too -- you could have seen one of our VM shows this past weekend AND helped ktulu mop his floors!

I wish I could have spent a bit more time in Dallas and seen our residents of the city and nearby. As it was, I am convinced my plane landed in Austin and taxied to Dallas. Had a great little meal in the restaurant where the chips and dip made you say wow, and the Carne Asada came with not one, but two full bottles of Cholula. I could and should spend more time in that city.

I am constantly scheming to get back to Dallas. I've spent about 7 weeks there over the past 15 years. Lunch at Dickies or Sonny Bryans is a favorite! And a visit isn't complete without an evening at Bone Daddy's House Of Smoke. The company used to send the trainees there at the conclusion of the week, until the tab for dinner for 15 of us hit over 3000$ plus tip! The food was reasonably priced. Most of that was the tequila tab! Now we pay for our own wrap up dinner :(
Any city with a bar and laundromat all in one (Bar Of Soap, near the fairgrounds) is good in my book!

Reminds me of the "Live and Let Live Barber Shop and Laundromat" in Chattanooga. Their motto: "As long as you have to wait for the jeans to dry anyway...."

And the drive-up daiquiri bars in New Orleans. And the bars in the malls. And just about everywhere else you can put a bar. Like on the corner, next to that prostitute.

Wait a second...

If you want better BBQ, go to Mike Anderson's, only open for lunch, but so much better than the other places you mentioned :)

Oh, he caters and I think he will ship BBQ as well!

Too bad shipping to Canada is so expensive. And for food it runs into all kinds of red tape. I will have to try it in its natural habitat!
