I haven’t been to Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill but I would dare say this restaurant is a great find as well.

Stephanie and I got…[Uh, yeah sorry for the interuption.  Here is an update:]

While being back in Dallas for travel we went back to Blue Mesa and now I am glad I just saved this as a draft that I almost never got back to…because this last time was HORRIBLE.

Service, food, everything.

Imagine chicken tortilla soup tasting like… READ MORE!

So I (we) was in a couple of stores tonight to buy an external hard drive to backup our laptops on and I turned and said to my wife, “What do you think?  The Seagate, or the WD My Book?”  She looks at the boxes, then she looks at me…then she says, “Give them to me so I can see which one is lighter, thats the one I think we should get!”
