Would it be akin to morrocan with a heavy emphasis of cinnamon on beef and mint with melon?

It's more like Greek than Moroccan. The musician did play a Mo-rockin' song that anyone that's been to the Moroccan pavilion at Epcot at night has heard.

Finally saw Up in teh Air this afternoon. Olton Hall, Mr.Brit, Steve Gadfly and Ms.Gadfly and myself enjoyed the movie, and then went on to join xyzzy and the fabulous Mrs. xyzzy and their delightful daughter, plus some other guests at the Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant in Highland Park.

Very delicious!

Don't forget the lovely Seraphina and her belly-dancing routine!!! :D:D

I enjoyed the movie - all the more so because it had George Clooney, who is, IMHO, quite delightful eye candy!

Of course, there has already been an extensive discussion of this in the box previously - regarding whether he is eye-candy or not.

Each to his own! He is definitely eye-candy as far as I am concerned :D:D:D:D

My comment was just a joke. It would take a lot for me to stop traveling. :)

While some of the recent changes (knee jerk reactions, really...) may end up sticking around, I can't see most of the "enhancements" staying long term. In the mean time, international air travel will probably be a pain.

True.

Good movie as well.

With the weather issues of last week and likely for next week, I have a gut feeling a riot will break out in some airport as people have had enough :rolleyes: making the DL mess earlier this week look like an elementary school yard fight. I've never seen the media so critical of this crap before.

The girlfriend was a cutie too. The new girl traveling with Clooney, um, no.

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. Although, most of the passengers I've seen interviewed on the news say that they are OK with the security "enhancements" if it makes their flight safer. :rolleyes:

And it becomes ever clearer why society at large disappoints me.

There was a passenger who described the Nigerian pseudo-terrorist as an "African-American."

I lost a lot of faith right there.

Clearly, we are 180 degrees apart on this issue.

My guess is that passengers aren't upset because TSA hasn't released a list of the new policies and have only mentioned that they will differ from flight to flight in an effort to be unpredictable (:confused:). Passengers on flights with only a few of the new enhancements probably won't care much, but just wait until more passengers experience long flights with no access to electronic devices...
