Where In The World Is Sum1?

Maricopa County, Third Time This Year!

Date: Week of May 20^th


Locale: Phoenix, Arizona


         This week finds me in Phoenix, Arizona again, and I loved it.  It always amazes me how much I find I miss the Southwest, especially Arizona and New Mexico.  One day, I'll live there again.


         This class was very short, only two days in length.  It's one I've taught many times, so everything went smoothly.  The flights were okay, at least I gave myself enough of a layover at O'Hare each way so I didn't have to imitate O.J. to get from one gate to the next.  Also, I change hotel chains to try and build up point with a second major chain (Marriott), but I think I've decided I like Hilton more.



Noteworthy Restaurants:


         Bitter & Twisted          https://static1.squarespace.com/static/52851956e4b0d970d0600f3c/t/5bec7ddb562fa7b3c4bf4aaf/1542225374746/B%26T_FoodMenu_11_12_2018.pdf  This place was more of a tavern/bar than restaurant, but their food was excellent.  The drink menu was extensive, I ended up having something different.  No idea what was in it, but it was good.  Their House-Smoked Beef Brisket Tacos (4 street sized tacos + guacamole + pico de gallo + cotija cheese) were excellent!


         Mother Brunch Brewing          http://motherbunchbrew.com/menu.html  If you ever visit this place, be careful with their sliders.  They are really a slider and a half, and the order comes with three of them!  Talk about stuffed!

In Closing

         I will spend next week in Schaumburg, meetings and more meetings.  Then a picnic.  After that, Atlanta, followed by Albuquerque.  Til next time, be good to yourselves and those you love, and WRITE!
