Everything you want to get to in Dallas is always on the opposite side of the freeway from where you expect it to be…including the exits. Silly me. Random thought #1.

I’m here for the annual CASE District IV conference at the Fairmont in scenic warm lovely Dallas. The hotel pillows are heavenly. Random thought #2.

We did manage to find the P.F. Chang’s here. God bless whoever thought up Kung Pao Scallops…god bless them every one. I was perusing the drink menu looking for something yummy and asked the waitress if they had any creamy chocolaty boozy goodness, to which she replied (without missing a beat) “There ain’t no chocolate in China, honey”. I love southern women, for I are one.

The hotel is lovely. They really believe in a mini-bar, I can tell you that much. Bless the valet (every one), for they prevent me from walking too far in 3 inch heels.
