Thanks to chrissxb for providing the inspiration for dinner and along with windflyer arranged layovers on mileage runs to come. It was great to catch up with TransWorldOne who grabbed an WN Ding fare to join us. IceTrojan, you are now an honorary San Diegan and on the list for future San Diego dinners. Redbeard911, I don't envy your early morning wake up call, but I do envy you BBQ in Kansas City tomorrow night. NCRBill, it was great to meet my fellow CMB runner. I hope you and your wife will come out again. And lili, it's always great to see you.

hiyo, Filippis was the perfect suggestion, given that we had two fellows to be delivered to the airport at different times. redbeard911 headed to the restaurant while we were at the airport. He tells me our group had to wait 20 minutes for our reserved table; needless to say, the State Senator at the adjacent table at no such wait!
