  1. Check around on Thursday afternoon before the 24-hour cancellation window closes, and set some notifications/alerts on Open Table and Resy for the places you might like that are already booked. Jeffrey's and J. Carver's are pretty reliable. Check the Austin specific page for some other recs. Good luck, and happy anniversary.
  2. Oh, they want my money. My daughter loves it, so on balance, it's been a good choice for her. And we've agreed to not discuss football because I want to throat punch most of their fans and head coach.
  3. Definitely. A few of my UGA daughter's HS senior friends got rejected after deferral, and at least two of them were auto-admit to Texas. I guess their essays or test scores knocked them out? FWIW, a college admissions account I still follow on social media says the problem is that everyone (exaggeration, I know) wants to go to the same 10 schools, so as that trend continues, it's just going to get harder. A frustrating aspect of going to UGA from out-of-state is that you register for classes after the in-state kids register. So yes, not only are we paying tuition when they are going for free, but the non-Georgia residents are getting the leftover course choices too. It hasn't been a big problem yet, but my TEX emotional scars have me a little concerned when she gets to needing those upper level required classes. It's total bullshit.
  4. The lemon rosemary cake, too.
  5. Wrapping up a few days here. Death Becomes Her was so, so good. Highly recommend. As for notable meals, we did pre-show dinner at Frena (middle eastern, pretty good but expensive, and I've had better), Sunday brunch at Balthazar, dinner at Polo Bar (a few tables over from Roger Goodell), pizza at San Matteo on 2nd Ave (I think @PenelopeWitherspoon rec'd that up thread, so thanks!) with the best gelato after at Anita. We stayed on UES, and hung around near the St. Patrick's Day parade finish line on Monday. I've never seen so many large men in kilts putting down Guinness on the street, so that was good people watching.
  6. I assume you're online only so you can serve as many children of Texas citizens possible with fewer actual teachers. I mean, that's what all the new for-profit schools will look like, right?
  7. Private lesson for all three of you also means getting to cut the lift lines. Don’t underestimate how much of your day is spent waiting in lines on crowded ski days.
  8. 👆 Beat me to it. This is as frivolous as it gets. If I'm the lawyer who is the subject of that letter, I'm laughing my ass off, framing it, and licking my chops.
  9. Well, Blake Lively has informed the court that she doesn't want Baldoni's lawyer deposing her: https://people.com/blake-lively-doesnt-want-justin-baldoni-attorney-bryan-freedman-to-take-her-deposition-8783933 I mentioned up thread that I am amazed at the shitty lawyering and lack of client control on her side. Add this to the pile. And there is no fucking way this settles before things get worse.
  10. For the last few years, we have spent most of July in Carmel, which is probably (definitely) not as budget-friendly as Monterey or PG, and we also plan to relocate to the area at some point. We're still exploring the area from that perspective, but I agree with the take above that Pebble Beach seems to have a better price range than I expected. Carmel is the most dog-friendly place we've ever been, and we walk our dog down on the beach daily. I absolutely love it there.
  11. Exactly. Play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.
  12. And now Lively and Reynolds are trying to prevent more receipts from coming out: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/01/22/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-gag-order-justin-baldoni/77888098007/
  13. Rundown of his claims against her here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14295303/shock-new-claims-Justin-Baldoni-Blake-Lively-lawsuit-Taylor-Swift.html The funniest one is that she rewrote a scene and used Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift to intimidate him into approving her changes. She referred to herself as Khaleesi and RR and TS as her "dragons." I'm amused by the shitty legal advice and/or lack of client control. She's an A-lister (courtesy of her husband and friends), and no one has heard of this dude until this shit show of a movie. All she had to do was lay low for six months and then 99% of people would move on to something else and forget about this mess. But oh no... She had to take it to a whole other level, sue the guy, give the story more life than it deserves, and now Justin is famous. WTF? And you bought yourself and husband a counter suit that includes claims consistent with rumors (that haven't seemed to hurt you -- yet) about what assholes you are in real life. This is mutual assured destruction, and I'm entertained. And I cannot imagine how excited their lawyers are to bill the fuck out these people. Bravo.
  14. OK, cool. Hook 'em.
  15. No. He appeared to be whining that the center moved the ball to cause the off sides. Replay shows ND was set and still. UGA players clearly jumped off sides.
  16. Exactly. They wear helmets for a reason.
  17. Got Pete Rose in 2024. Keeping much of my list mainly bc I'm determined to get Chris Berman and Clarence Thomas: Arianna Grande - 31 Britney Spears - 43 Warren Sapp - 52 Chris Berman - 69 Clarence Thomas - 76 Donald Trump - 78 Eric Clapton - 79 Joe Biden - 82 Francis Ford Coppola - 85 Lou Holtz - 87
  18. I cannot imagine CDC and Hartzell not running total interference. His former players and some olds will want to have him around, but I'd bet the major player BMDs are not interested.
  19. Cignetti is cracking me up. He does not give a fuck.
  20. This is very good advice, particularly if you can fly direct into Greenville. ATL traffic and airport are a huge time suck and can easily add another hour to your trip. Athens hotels will be hard to get, and they're probably booked already. When we've visited my kid there, I've had success calling the hotel directly and getting a room when it shows sold out online.
  21. Death Becomes Her is on our list simply because of Megan Hilty. Anyone have thoughts on The Dominick Hotel?
  22. Or watching on the app and get cut off five minutes in with a message that the video is not available in my area. Close the app, reopen, and no press conference video to be found.
  23. I love the optimism, but we all know they are incapable of controlling themselves.
  24. Screw unplugging them -- just take garden shears and cut the cords. Check in the mail on Monday. Edit: @Sawbonz and I think alike.
