Then they will be replaced by home and fashion makeover shows. There is no escape.

CMike, I find myself back in DC tonight due to a client install that went to poop. I was thinking that I should try to say Hi to your friend, but I realized I don't know your real name.

Me: Hi Shujaat. I was talking to a friend of yours and he said to say Hi.
Shujaat: What's his name?
Me: Uhhhhhh.....

Would he know you if I referred to you by your FT handle?

He would not know my handle. Mike from Atlantic City would likely work.

Lunches at my local one have paled in comparison to their dinner offerings. I'm much more a Palm or Morton's guy, and yes, I'm still holding a grudge over the ruined birthday incident.

I keep writing to the American Psychiatric Association and telling them that the wedding planning phase that women go through needs to be included in DSM-V. :-:

Preach on, brother.

I don't think that works, either. My sisters still watch them, only now they point out all the things that were wrong with their weddings.

I'm not surprised. It's too long of a story to tell, but rest assured that I am merely offended and in no way surprised.

I get a kick out of Stacy and Clinton, and the home makeover/real estate flip shows are sometimes tolerable...especially the one with the really hot blond house staging expert. It's the constant watching of Bridezillas that is killing me.

I like them all and have had very good luck at three or four of the Capital Grill locations. Next week I am determined to try the new one at the Boca Center. Report will follow, of course, in this thread.

Thanks everyone for the Heathrow Express info. My parents are going to be in London in a few weeks, so I am collecting some information for them.

I think I haz some Heathrow Express upgrade vouchers from my VS elite kit. Let me know if you need them.

If you're not going to use them, I'll gladly take them off your hands. Are there any special T&Cs when using the vouchers?

Citi's new fee structure as of February probably spells the end of me as a deposit customer there ...

I look forward to your report and hold no ill will toward those who express a preference different than my own. The Capital Grille in Philly wrecked a birthday night out and I should be open-minded and try another location different from the one that committed such :rolleyes:. Maybe if I get this job I interviewed for today I will celebrate there, however that would mean giving up on Palm chicken parm.

When I have the opportunity to go, it's usually in LAS and I think "why would I do that"?

Night, Box.

There is good reason for that thought process in LAS. In other cities besides LAS and PHL, I would think that Capital Grille is on many people's shortlists.

Taxing the banks?

Time to start updating my resume.

Really. Let's not do this.

From my new favorite web site:

Reminds me of a few recent encounters...

ConciergeMike Jan 27, 2010 9:09 pm

Goodnight, Box. Will advise if I can make Chez Xyzzy; not sure yet.
