Ninfa's? In Houston? The only one I know is in Peachtree Center, downtown Atlanta. Never looked at all the pictures on the wall or history. Love their food though.
Papacitios, is so much better.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I don't have a good impression of the next tier down (the "nontraditional" or online based programs)
I'm looking at Widener right now. Best local option that I stand the greatest chance of admission to. Drexel has an online program in tourism. Um, no. I don't want to brag to people that I took advanced courses in tourism and sustainability. Just on a whim, I searched a popular industry site that I used to look at frequently for openings. Still not a lot out there, but some very interesting properties are looking for people to do the stuff that I want to do.

Got it. Never mind.
And while odd, this does happen: a non-pilot rises to command a carrier. Think of the bombardier in the A-6 or the backseater in an F-14.

The current CO of USS John C. Stennis started out as an A-6 right-seat guy.

Yes, the original Ninfa's is in Houston. Mama Ninfa started it after her husband died. It was a Houston institution. Everyone loved the place. Eventually she licensed the name and a bunch of locations popped up all over the U.S.

There are still Ninfa's around, but the original is the only one that didn't go on to become part of the chain.

ETA: Just saw photog72's reply. Pappasito's is good, but the Original Ninfa's serves certain dishes that are actually real Mexican food, like pork stew and nopalitos (cactus paddles). mmmm

My brother flew A-6's out of San Diego and Whidbey Island, WA.

It is good, but the wait time is crazy. We went there two weeks ago and waited almost 2 hours to be seated for lunch. Sammy was good, but by 3:00 I was starving.

Brief rain shower yesterday really is messing up my deck completion:mad: I only have a little shade and reasonable temps for a short time! Hope the breeze dries it quickly.

Good morning, B:cool:x.

Sadly, no rain for us. Nice long walk this morning, more tomato planting later on, but right now, it's the exciting conclusion of Flash F:rolleyes:rward.

Morning box. I'm celebrating actually sleeping 8 hours. Back is still a bit :( from all of the sitting I've done in the past week.

It sounds like you have clearly made up your mind. Go for it.

Going to spend a bunch of time in therapy today. Have a couple acres that need to be mowed. Therapy. :D^

I am one of the early members of the Facebook group "Melt sucks and let me tell you why"

COFlyerCLE is dead on. I can't recommend the place b/c of the service...food is fine.
