OK - I have some reasonably good news for you.
1. The BICA lounge in the international, and in the domestic terminal looks like a lounge bar, has a decent selection of food and booze, comfy sofas, free wifi (ask the lounge staff for a password) .. though you could just step out of the hotel and dump your bags in the left luggage booth that's in the parking lot. Ask a security guy for where it is .. small standalone room that's quite a haul from the terminal building entrance if you have to carry your bags there.
2. Dinner in the vicinity - not too many actually good restaurants that are very near the airport except five star hotels. Half an hour or so away is another story - you can find a few if you are ok with that long a trip.
There's a Radisson GRT not too far away that has a decent restaurant. Also nearby - a le meridien, a trident (used to be a trident hilton). Could just book a dayroom at one of those, maybe?

c) Any places for a nice leisurely dinner in the vicinity?
d) Are any of the lounges at MAA int'l worth buying access to?
e) Any other ideas for what to do on a sweltering hot Sunday?
Thank ye muchly ^
