St. Louis - Day 1 - Class starts

I forgot to mention one thing about my trip up. I had lunch at Joe Huber's Family Restaurant, a mile or so down the road from the Huber Winery. It was pretty incredible. I had some kind of fried fish. I'm not entirely sure what I had. I asked them to just bring me something good, and they did. I was wondering, while I ate, whether *all* the girls in that part of the country are that pretty, or if, somehow, they just got the prettiest ones to work there.

Anyways, class started yesterday, and, of the 5 people signed up for the class, 3 showed up. Once again, I have really good students, which always makes the class go better. However, Solaris had it in for me yesterday, and we spent the *entire* morning just getting Apache + SSL + mod_perl + PHP installed. Then, being flustered about the morning, I picked up the pace in the afternoon, and, of course, finished very early. Bah.

I had big plans for the evening, mostly involving GeoCaching, but I was exhausted, and sat like a lump and watched "Battle of Britain" on my laptop. I snagged it the other day because I remembered watching it at Turi, lo these many years ago. The scenes that I remembered most vividly were exactly as I remembered them.

It's time to go get some breakfast, and then start day two.

Yeah, you will notice that all my rosy, gleaming memories of Huber's is from picking the apples by hand and eating at the restaurant. Please tell me that you had some of the apple butter?! If not go back and don't leave until you have!

And of course all the girls are pretty in that area, I mean look at Heather.

(And in case you have forgotten, that is the part of Indiana that we are from.)

The apple butter was great. I don't think I'll get to stop there on the way back home, since it will be pretty late by the time I get there, but it looks like I'll be coming out here again, so I should get to stop there again. :-)
