I just had a student say she just purchased the textbook. Tomorrow starts week 10 of a 15-week semester.

On the way into town, BL JR said "Can we just go to the hotel and order room service?" :rolleyes: I said "we're at a hotel that doesn't have room service". After a very nice dinner (M's pub remains consistantly amazing in OMA), we arive at FI, BL JR checking in with me. When the mgr on duty said that both rooms had been upgraded to a suite she proclaimed "thank goodness it's a suite". :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: I think she needs a motel 6/super 8 run. :rolleyes:

LOL!;):D

Almost time to board my SAT-HOU flight. Thirteen segments, 30,648 mi., eleven new lines, six new dots, two new carriers, and a new equipment type. It's been a very good week. :D

Good morning, all.

Typical weekend with the fam: exhausting, overindulgent, but fun. And the drive home from HVN took under 2.5 hrs yesterday. I do wish (for selfish reasons if nothing else) that that airport was more of a viable option.

Drool....Man vs. Food guy was just in a couple of burger places.@:-)

We did visit Louis' Lunch, one of the burger places featured on said show, this weekend (at my sister's request). Historic it may be, but honestly, overrated. It was a perfectly acceptable, generic burger - but IMHO that's not worth a 45 minute wait. At least it was a nice day and we weren't in a hurry. I don't mind having done it once, but if any of you were thinking about it, I wouldn't bother.

I actually like the front of the lower deck more than the upper deck. Looking out the semi-forward-facing windows almost gives a full 180 degree view which is pretty cool!

I SO want to do a flight in these seats. :D

Also, just an OMNI-type observation (and only an observation): I went to bed pretty early last night - before the bill passed. It was very interesting to scan my Facebook news feed this morning and see an overwhelming stream of (almost all) consistent, unilateral response...and then to read the last couple pages of the Box and see another stream of (almost all) consistent, unilateral, response - in the opposite direction.

If you think that it is intense here, take a look at the most recent postings in the Delta Forum Lounge. That stuff makes it look somewhat mild in The Box.

My favorite line from last night was from Pelosi, "It is with pride and humility that we pass this legislation"... Well, I can see where they're getting their inspiration for education reform.
