I've been on work trips like that. Even if you get out for a couple walks around the block in the morning before breakfast, it's worth it.
One of the favorite walks I had was at a Tucson "resort hotel" where a hotel-employed guide would take you on a half-hour nature walk at 7 AM. Energized me for the rest of the day!
I was thinking Jaleo too, actually. I've been a few times, but it's a classic for a reason, and the idea of sitting and eating myself silly on tapas is very appealing.
Jose Andres was hilarious on today's Ellen show!
Dana, you could also try Zaytinya, which is mediterranean tapas. We (meaning the buffistas0 used to go there all of the time, until the service went into the crapper. However, I have heard that it has improved.
I work from home frequently and I try to keep a high e-mail presence, without spamming folks. For me it works pretty well because the majority of the people I work with are not in my office anyway, so as long as the work gets done, they don't care where I'm doing it from.
Yesterday I had the top down on the car, today it is supposed to hit 70, and snow is forecast for Saturday.
Is it the same people as Jaleo?

And tomorrow the high is supposed to be 32. I'm sort of bummed because my parents are coming up to night and I was hoping we could all go for a bike ride.
I'm IMing asking "Have they shown up yet? What's happening?" I feel so out of touch. Grrr.

Hmm, maybe. The chef at Zaytinya was on Top Chef last season. He was kind of a dick, but apparently a good chef.
The weather variance is super crazy right now. It was snowing, then yesterday it was 66 and who knows what's next?
My bulbs are all coming up, and it's clear some of the ones I thought were dead and overplanted were not dead but only pining and they're baaack so now I have some areas which will have interesting arrangements. If the rabbits allow.
The SO cleared a bunch of our beds and mulched so it looks nice.
