The stars at night are big and bright ...

Deep in the heart of Texas. Dallas that is.
Only a day in Dallas for work, but great weather. No time for sightseeing though. My flight arrived Monday at 4:30 and I left at 3:29 on Tuesday.

I had been to Dallas once before, in October of 1997, again on business. That time I stayed downtown at Le Meridien (now a Westin). This trip, we were at an Embassy Suites hotel. I don't know that I've stayed at one of those before, but I had the usual problem of the key not working the first time through. Happens to me all the time. I think my magnetic personality must de-magnetize the key.
