On this morning's United Shuttle, we had a whole bunch of 1K commuters
on board. I got a reference from a flight attendant to Cozy Mel's in El
Segundo, because she figured if I was requesting margaritias in flight
at 8:30 AM, I'd probably appreciate their tasting flight of seven
different margaritas. The only hit on the entire web for that name was
this list, presumably from la.eats. I think we'll have to work our way
down this list; there's lots of new names on it, for me.

Another place I have to go is Fred 62's, a ultratrendy gourmet 24hr
retro joint in Los Feliz.

Other news from the flight: more for the small-world file. Seatmate
mentioned dinner with Milo Medin, @Home's network architect (formerly at
NASA Ames (which, by the way, I hear is to be remonikered the NASA
Center for Astrobiology soon, reflecting the ascendancy of the Sagan
legacy in exobilogy and earth systems studies)). He's an exec at Young &
Rubicam, heads some board at UC Berkeley, so we also chatted about UC's
comparative strengths in networking research.

Oh, and I finally filled in my demographic bingo card. Across the aisle
I espied a well turned-out, successful, female, Indian, 1K flyer, ...and
married.

Ah, well.
