Which Starwood property is that?

W Seoul Walkerhill. Great property.

Looks like it! I'll have to add it to my list for future trips. Asia might be happening next year.

All of the kids that he hadn't gotten to yet are breathing a sigh of relief.

A former friend of the family was at one time a sales rep for KE. He was partial to shrimp the way they do it there - appendages and all. He was particularly fond of shrimp heads. :eek:

"And when you go to a steakhouse? No cow tank."

Good call - that's a beautiful shot.

This may well be my first drunk post to The Box. Rotary dinner tonight was at a BYOB, and I only finished half the bottle of white wine. Had a water, drove home, now finishing the bottle sans the use of a glass.

My pictures turned out amazingly good from this afternoon.

from IAH????

I love how one of the local stations in LA is running a story right now discussing how someone like Michael Jackson, whom they described as "thin, fit, and active," could suddenly die of cardiac arrest. Huh? Michael Jackson was the picture of health? Um, based on all the pictures I've seen on TV in the last few hours of him through the years, the last time he really looked healthy was sometime in the late 1980s, maybe early 1990s. I certainly wouldn't say that he appeared healthy.

A friend of mine in Houston and I were just on the phone discussing a HR management class she's taking. Her comment on this whole Michael Jackson thing — "How dare that pedophile steal the spotlight from Farrah Fawcett by dying on the same day."

LOL. We have a winner.

I had a similar experience in a Chinese restaurant in Seattle a year ago. The waitress raved about the shrimp special that night, so we ordered it. Out came shrimp that still had legs, heads, eyes, everything. They were a lot of work to eat, but the taste was absolutely incredible. On the way out we discovered why the shrimp were so good — there was a huge tank of them by the cash register, and while I was paying for our dinner, I saw a lady come out of the kitchen with a big tray and a huge net, scoop up a bunch of shrimp from the tank, and take them back to the kitchen. Those shrimp we consumed were swimming when we ordered them.

And as far as drunken Box posts goes, yours was quite coherent. You need to drink more for your next one. We wouldn't have known it was a drunk post had you not told us.

I decided to just finish off the 12-pack of Modelo.

I was in LAS when the paparazzi were taking photos of him being pushed in a wheelchair to the bookstore ... If he were fit and active, I should mail in my entry for the Ironman (then again, I was in KOA last month).

An old coworker's husband dropped dead on a racquetball court at the fine age of 42. One never knows.

It is bizarre coincidence that the two died on the same day. It's my new stepkid's bday today so I guess she'll always have something odd to remember about it.

Same thing happened to a VP at the college I went to one afternoon my sophomore year (well, he died shortly after walking out of the building on his way to the health center because he felt ill).

It's true, you never know. I'm just amazed at how this report acted like he was someone in perfect health who suddenly died, which most likely, was not the case.

That's the sad thing with cardiac arrest - so many potential causes.

And now we get the live coverage of the helicopter flying to the hospital to pick up the body and take it to the coroner's office. :rolleyes:

Got to love being LA when stuff like this goes down.

That's just ridiculous ...
