A night in Milwaukee
I’ve been spending way too much time lately in my office on the Redmond campus, where the view isn’t all that interesting, so this week we’re taking a whirlwind tour of the Midwest and the South, to visit friends and family over the Thanksgiving holiday.
First stop was Milwaukee yesterday. We went to Mo’s Steak House, a Milwaukee institution, and enjoyed cigars in the lounge after dinner, where Jerry the piano player was kind enough to put together a Jimmy Webb medley at my request. Now we’re in Racine at a Starbucks, and soon we’ll be headed to Evanston, Chicago, Atlanta, and Montgomery. More photos to come, I’m sure.

You’ve rearranged your office — much nicer that way. The other way had you facing away from the door and your screens visible from the hall, something I’ve always tried to avoid when I lay out a work space.
That cigar lounge is fantastic — the leathery chairs remind me of the old George Booth cartoons in the New Yorker about old men at The Club. Very nice.
See you in a few hours — drive safely!

I want to smoke cigars with you. Do you know ATL well? Can you take me around and show me my city?
The boys are balking at the wearing of their outfits for your arrival parade. Daisy doesn’t seem to mind so much, but that Andy! He tears her scarf off as soon as I put it one her. Also, the bed has broken down and I spent hours last night trying to fix it for you….didn’t happen. Do you travel with tools?
And LaVonne!! You went and saw AUNT LAURA FARVE???!!! Dear God…you sweet, brave soul. Uh uh uh. Got the pics of the Lagasse’s. Thanks. Yes, they are delightful. Glad they took you to Rickey’s—some of the best seafood on the coast.
but aunt laura, LaVonne? WHY?
