We also took note of the different
pace of life down here. It brought back
memories of my time in the military where I spent a considerable number of
years living in the South. The people are
so much more polite and less hurried here.
You can see it on the road where merges happen without the attendant drama
you see in the Northeast. The Connecticut New
England personality everyday.

| Lunch |
The views at lunch were
provided at a restaurant called Twin Peaks . I thought it was just a burger joint until I
walked in and saw where the name came from.
It is a chain of restaurant that takes the Hooters method to a new
level. Well endowed waitresses in short
shorts and plunging necklines flitted around the huge room which had dozens of
flat screens and a wilderness motif. I
think the mechanic who recommended the place knew what it was ahead of time but
he maintained his innocence. The food
turned out to be bad but the mountain views were spectacular.
Dinner was a return to the Longhorn
Steakhouse where we ate in the shadow of a truly spectacularly large longhorn
mounted over the bar. I felt a little
guilty downing his relative – well, not really.

I then settled into the
hotel room to watch the Bruins initial game of the Stanley Cup Finals. For a long time it looked like the magical
ride the Bruins have been on would continue with a two goal lead in the final
period. Unfortunately a fluke goal tied
the game which then resulted in no less than three overtimes. Like an idiot I stayed up well into the early
morning hours watching as the Bruins eventually lost. I was then so pissed I couldn’t fall asleep
until well after 3am.

Well at least I don’t have
to drive today – just have to hope there are no more presentations from the engineers. Home tonight, hopefully, although I do have
to submit to the tender mercies of US Air again – nothing is guaranteed.
