I think working in Louisiana is driving me to drink. After the last three days, I immediately checked into my room here and consumed a bottle of the liquor in the suite's mini-bar, without even thinking about it.

Mmmm, donuts. I can actually make the trek over to IAH B for some Shipley tomorrow morning during my three hour layover there.

Today's observations:

1) No matter how thin you are, if you wear a c:rolleyes:w-print sweater set, you look like a c:rolleyes:w.

2) Men. Crocs. No.

3) The anti-corollary to this week's Healing Plane Theorem: Check-in Line Sudden-Onset Deafness. Anyone reaching the front of the line suddenly stares off into space as the check-in agent repeats, "I can help the next person in line!"

For the same price you could get a 48-Ounce Orange-Antifreeze Daiquiri from a drive-through daiquiri hut, with enough everclear and sugar in it to kill a diabetic elephant.

Slip, fall, ouch: :eek:, :mad:, :rolleyes:

I'm in Fianceeland...no booze to my liking in this house, and no one to drink it with.

Firefox 3.5.3 and iTunes 9 both hit today - what an update freak I am.

They flew over my boat last Wednesday practicing for the CLE Airshow over the labor day weekend, it was great as we had beers in hand, fishing pole in the water, and airshow planes practicing overhead. :)

Actually I could probably get two of those for the same price. But that would require me putting on shoes and going out. Or I guess I could call Whatever, Whenever and they'll bring it to me, for a 2500% markup.

WTH. It's going on my expense report as "dinner."

thanks for the support
Peh double u Peh

I'll add chinos/dress slacks and flip flops. I ran into three guys at the Hilton in Baton Rouge this week wearing that combination in the evening after work.

I was on the wrong end of this as a front desk agent many, many times. It especially sucked when my workstation was at the far end of the desk, more toward the back of the line...the property I was at ran their line in serpentine, but parallel to the desk. I'd give a nice, loud "Next guest please!" and the deaf person would ignore me, but the back of the line would come to the rescue and make this Wave-like noodge from one person to the next until it finally reached the idiot who was next.

Thanks, this one was hidden
almost missed it and would have to wait another 172 years :-:

There is a Daiquiri Place just around the corner. Walk down the side-street that's between the W and Harrahs, towards Canal. Take a left upon reaching Canal. Daiquiri place is on teh left. They are open late. :-:

ALCO - I saw this book in the White Sands book store and thought of you.:D
