Ah, apparently SkyTrain is what they call the El in Vancouver. And in Bangkok, according to the interwebs.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Ooh, Vancouver and Bangkok both sound exotic and exciting! Places I have not been, after all. Maybe I will keep my SkyTrain fascination, although perhaps not to the point of needing to move to somewhere where I can commute by SkyTrain. Or maybe so, it's early days and there isn't a space elevator to commute by.

A SkyTrain does sound like it should be fun. Nothing as mundane as taking you terminal to terminal or terminal to hotel.
I had soft-shell crab for dinner, tonight. Yum.

.Yay! I should have something coming out in the June issue as well about NOLA Brewing. Also I'm on the beer tasting panel in this month's All About Beer and have a feature in either the August or September issue of AAB as well.
AAB - I think I should know thus but...
I any way, intensely cool. Glad you were able to follow so much of your bliss to NOLA.
Duh, you said it - All About Beer. I think that one I don't find around here (sadly admits he only reads the free beer periodicals, but has good sources to them all).

Also, I think your comments on lights would have worked with The Godfather - especially if you didn't have a good print of the movie. Heh. Don't know why that came to mind. I don't watch the show, but I know Kingpin. Also, Matt's blind so...

Lovely choice. And very light on alcohol BTW, despite the robust flavour (spelling in ita tribute).
As opposed to the raspberry beer I had this evening from Founders which was close to 10% (Lindemans is 4% +/-). Still nothing compared to the late lamented Dogfish Head Foit which tasted like both of them and was whopping 18%. Too expensive to keep brewing from what I heard, but I love those crazy bastards for doing it while they did.

Going to the wine/tapas bar down the street reminded me why I haven't been in forever - it's very cramped and not in a nicely cozy way. Also, when ordering baked grouper I was picturing some big fluffy bit of culinary artwork and got a small squashed filet that looked like it came from the bottom of a cafeteria chafing dish and tasted like lemon juice. (I will give them credit for a yummy salad, though.)
