    Sittin' at the poolside...

    Sittin' at the poolside bar of the Tampa Seminole Hard Rock Casino on the evening of a business trip, sipping a Martini and making this post from a Handspring Treo. This either Way Cool or Pathetically Geeky. I can't tell which, so I'm putting it up for a vote...

    Okay, a round of the clap for RL's response.

    Very cool, Neevel, Nice of you to think of us while you are having a drink. I will now go have a beer.
    Cheers,

    It's tres cool. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If they do, it's because they are envious.

    Expense the Martini ;-)

    Hope you brought a good book to read/review! I think it falls in the too cool category!

    Neither cool nor geeky. Merely flawed, like the poll.

    I voted cool before I remembered you were an engineer. By definition, it has to be Pathetically Geeky. I picture long pants, long sleeve shirt buttoned all the way up, white socks, black shoes, straw hat, under an umbrella in the shade

    Dudette. Pauli is a Dudette!

    There's a hotel in San Diego where right next to poolside is a small harborside concert pavillion. I love it when I stay there in the summer months because as a hotel guest you can sit poolside with drinks and even dinner and enjoy the evening entertainment (pretty big name bands and performers) under the stars and seabreezes.

    Hard to beat.

    What veeco said. Don't believe Bayou Bum. Engineers have that freaky thang going on that mere mortals can't see!

    Sucks for you. Even chocolate gets boring if you eat too much. Where do you vacation? Somewhere cold and rainy/snowy?

    It is a REAL martini made with GIN, right? I hate the fact that now I have to give detailed instructions when ordering a very, very dry martini. And even then it's never quite right unless I make it myself.

    Anyway it is way pathetically geeky cool.

    Vacation. I've heard of other people taking those things. One of these days I'll have to try it. As far as getting boring... not yet. I grew up in the Central Valley of California. Three months of triple digits and hemmed in by mountains on three sides. Athsma attacks are a local pastime...
