Hi Carol,

 CS> Works for me!

We're going to get there early to mid afternoon, more likely mid
afternoon.  Decided to leave here before lunch.

 CS> No biggie.  GPS will get you here and just take you the long way as it

But sometimes we addle its poor little brain. (G)

 CS> THere you have it!


I'll finish in 3 years; looks like Steve will take 3 1/2.  I'd planned
to get all my required classes done by the end of next year but an
elective I want will only be offered next fall.  I think I'll take that
& get the required one fall of 2011.

 CS> No worries! I'll have eggs and basics like garlic here.  Normal stock

 CS> here so it's good to mention them.


Thought so, just wanted to double check.  BTW, I wouldn't mind a trip to
the Asian market--don't know about others but probably Steve wouldn't
mind going either.

 CS> Mloo will cry but bacon isnt normal here as an example.  ;-)  Oh, I

 CS> and a weekend of whatever another may prefer works for us.

We'll all have fun going outside our norm for a few days.  Are you &
Charlotte ready to roll some meat balls?

 CS> Have to check, not sure they use either.  Mexico is a big place.  This
 CS> may be a quizine version of it you have not encountered? Mexico is
 CS> like the USA where New Orleans aint like NY city or Oskaloosa Iowa.


I'll find something, don't worry.  Just have to see the menu.

 CS> It's definately NOT tex-mex.  Not USA border sort of place.

No problem.

 CS> Ok, need a confirm from Dale and Gail then.  No need to push anyone's
 CS> schedules.  Heck, it they get here Friday, we just work some fun in
 CS> that suits us who are here.

That's the way it usually goes.

 CS> Horchata? I do not recall that name on the menu.  Doesnt mean they
 CS> dont, but some things you just 'ask for to see if they have it'.

I've found that to be true over the years and various places. Some only
have it on week ends, some have it all the time & some don't have it at
all.
