I know Fogo de Chao is a chain but has anyone ever been? I'm thinking of trying the one in Buckhead tonight.

I've been to a couple and they were always outstanding.

Is that Craft - as in Tom Colliccio's place? I've always wanted to try that out - there's one in the W-Dallas.

Yep.

And as an aside, I think I figured out why co.com's Alex turned down my initial offers of the BBDS - she may be a lesbian (and there's NOTHING wrong with that!):

You Asked: lesbian?
Alex: Hmmm, I'd rather not say. Do you have any questions about Continental?

You Asked: gay?
Alex: Hmmm, I'd rather not say. Do you have any questions about Continental?

You Asked: straight?
Alex: I'm not sure how to answer that. I understand simple questions best, can you try asking that in a different way?

You Asked: do you like a big black disco stick?
Alex: My favorite color is a toss up between blue and gold.

Actually, I was routed out on US and back on CO until I explained the US flights arrived 10 minutes after the return they scheduled for me departed ...

Flight 1: MEM-PHX on a CR9 without first. I did pull an exit row by myself but the seat padding didn't help. How do I know it was old HP? Still had the seats embroidered HP. Pilot announced that with the autopilot not functional, it would take longer to fly this 3.5 hour RJ flight - illegal to fly about FL 29. Aircraft decided to rain on me during descent and I had a moron using the armrest as a footrest until he took a sharp elbow. PHX US Club sucked. Lunch offering was "alcohol, water, and kettle chips".

Flight 2: PHX-SMF was also a bit late on a 319. Had the offset two-seat exit row to self, got some work done.

No lounge in SMF. *A partner UA happens to be in another terminal building so I got a run in ...

Flight 3: SMF-ORD - did convince the lady at the counter that partner *G deserve E+. Sadly, I wasn't assigned the row with lie-flat exit row in E+ Listened to Channel 9 on descent.

Flight 4: Upcoming - in RCC in ORD at the moment, eating cheese, crackers, Kit Kats, and cherry tomatoes. Still handily beats the pants off US' abomination.

Why does the Census Beauru think they need my name, birthdate, income level, ownership/mortage/rental of house and phone number?

I don't mind giving my house count and race, and an age range, but this is quite a bit to ask...

I just finished dealing with today's e-mails from work. Leaving for dinner, I noted that Cincinnati U's cheerleaders are staying adjacent to my room here. Their game at Big East Tournament started at 9.

I think I will go out and have a few more cocktails and see where the evening goes. I have no office commitments until 1 pm tomorrow.
