    The World Trade Center, two days after it happened. Surreal beyond belief.

    The Stockyards are pretty cool, and it's home to the best Mexican restuarant in the world, Joe T Garcia's.

    I have to work a Conference in Ft. Worth for a week in late October.

    I will definitely keep that suggestion in mind.

    You could eat at a different restaurant every night and still not get to all the good ones there.

    More like the Epcott meets the French Quarter, with a cowboy/western theme. It is pretty cool.

    Churches in Europe are always fun to visit. I liked the Cologne Cathedral a lot, but there are zillions of smaller ones throughout the countryside, too.

    From what I have read Jefferson made a real effort to live until the 50th anniversary, and in his final hours asked more than once if it was the 4th yet.

    I really liked Charleston, including Fort Sumter. The Battery was nice too.
