In one of the suites at the El Cortez (nicer than expected) and there happens to be a fitness center downstairs (absolutely unexpected).

This past Saturday night was the first Saturday night in over a month I did not get to have In-N-Out :-(
Since I'm not flying this weekend, it might be another 12 days or so till I get back out to SoCal...
And yes, all: Hi my name is Jeff, and I'm an In-N-Out addict.

We've got six In-'N-Out's within five miles of where we live and we haven't ate there in a decade.
We honestly don't see the attraction. There are a gazillion restaurants within a mile of us that offer much better burgers.
Wish someone would tell us what we're missing here.

Had a nice 20-ounce porterhouse and grilled asparagus for dinner tonight. About to walk to Walgreen's to get some low calorie beverages with the intent to run in a couple hours.

I want it to be officially known that scoow is responsible for rising tensions in the Middle East!
I had asked her to copy, and send on a DVD to me, a recent episode of The Simpsons in which they visited Israel. (It will probably be at least 5 years until it is shown here.)
She did so and then decided to include in the envelope a package of Girl Scout cookies -- my favorite kind, Thin Mints.
I picked it up this morning on my way to a car wash in a local Arab village. As the car was being cleaned, I had my breakfast: Girl Scout cookies and Diet Coke.
Two very cute little Arab children came in, saw the cookies, and their eyes widened. They each asked if they could have one. Naturally, I kicked both of them in their rear ends.
Then an incredibly gorgeous Arab woman in her late 20s walked in, sat down next to me, smiled sweetly and said, "Surely you will give me a cookie."
"Lady," I replied, "I can't imagine that you have anything to offer me that is worth one of my Girl Scout cookies"
She stormed off in a huff.
Then an old man came in, told me that he is very ill, and his one wish is to have a Thin Mint cookie before he dies.
"I hope you live a long time," I said to him, "because you sure aren't going to get one today."
Just about that time they finished washing my car and I managed to hop into it before an enraged crowd, led by the father of the two children, the brother of the gorgeous woman, and the sons of the old man managed to grab hold of me.
As a result, all of northern Israel is now on high alert and, as I mentioned, it is all scoow's fault.

The names Matt, I just moved to Savannah, GA for a new job but the girlfriend in Oklahoma has me traveling every other weekend or so. Its always a 5 or 6 segment trip (SAV-ATL-XNA-FSM-MEM-ATL-SAV), flying into XNA has a better time schedule so I dont have to take off early on Fridays. I will be Silver Medallion by the end of May, after only two months here! It will be the first time I've been an elite, and I cant tell you guys how excited I am.
If that's all it takes to drag you back into The Lounge... everyone, please drop Traveller as a FB friend.
sniff, cry.... 
I think it's a proximity thing. I don't understand your love of White Castle, either.
Nothing?
Really??? Or at least I won't get blamed for your greed.
