Of course, that isn't to say that the local beer in AUS is bad, it's just more hoppy than I care for most of the time. Hop heads will most vehemently disagree, I'm sure.
I think all craft breweries have gone hop-crazy. I can't get a sampler case from any microbrewery without there being two pale ales. I like the occasional IPA -- it goes very well with food -- but a little bit can go a long way.

Invitation for a conference today; both Pepsi and Coca Cola are the key sponsors. Wonder if both will be served during meals/breaks?

I don't have blind loyalty. I'm staying at a Four Seasons in Dallas when I could be staying at a Marriott or *Wood. Maintaining my status; however, is important to me.

I was thinking that we could take it for a test drive without all the lenses and filters first and go from there. Seems like a nice camera.

Yes, they are roomier than the first class lav on a 737, one thing that I can say is nice about the MD-88s and such flying on DL!!

I have my first set of upgrades with a companion coming up next month. This should be interesting.

I know; I know! She and plus1's daughter have named their favorite hotel chain: W. I don't think I chose a favorite chain at either of their ages.

Fiancee just emailed the firm from whom she won a free "wedding design" package. In the email, she admits that she is too much of a control freak to yield to a third party.

Ahhhh, the sweet relief I take in her admission of having a control problem.
