Speaking for those of us who are far away from DC – I am salivating on my keyboard with nothing nearly so interesting to eat within a 100 mile radius. It all sounds wonderful!

Thanks for the new suggestions, Ed. I already had a reminder set on my iPhone for the release days of the the Burke and Koontz books. I love Odd Thomas! But the others sound good, as well. I can always count on you for good book recommendations.

I’m taking a girl’s trip to New Orleans in March with my daughters, granddaughter and good friend. Rented an historical house uptown near the river and located around lots of good places to eat.

Tina Fey’s book “Bossypants” is light & fun. Also, Neil Gaiman’s “The Graveyard Book” is great.

Thanks for the Southwest “heads up”, Stephen. Because of your message, I now have a $100 ticket to Chicago. Excellent deal from Kansas City!

Do you mean The Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas? There is no better place on earth!
There’s also one in Round Rock, TX as well, but not like the original!
