<\/a>Had to put out a few fires this morning. Thank goodness for high-speed wireless and my trusty new iBook<\/a>. As a sidenote, Apple Works<\/a> is an absolute travesty. It is twelve steps backwards in the evolution of office applications. Can’t wait for OpenOffice<\/a> to run natively on Panther.    (1YT)<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>Afterwards, I drove to The Hill<\/a> for lunch at Amighetti’s, then walked down Elizabeth Street to see the stretch of road where Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola grew up. I love The Hill<\/a>. Red brick houses line the streets, and there’s an Italian restaurant and bakery on every block. I could spend weeks here, just wandering the streets and eating.    (1YU)<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>My next stop was the Arch<\/a>. Took the crazy tram to the top. Remember the egg from Mork and Mindy? The tram consists of eight of those, with five people crammed in each of them. There’s a tram on each side of the Arch, and they meet at the center. Takes about five minutes to the top.    (1YV)<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>The highlight of the Arch was the IMAX movie and exhibits on Lewis & Clark<\/a>. I had to add a book on the two explorers to my always growing reading list.    (1YW)<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>Scott Foehner<\/a> and I had dinner at Blueberry Hill, which Scott claims is the most well known restaurant in town. Near Washington University, it sports plenty of seating, good burgers, a wide beer selection, live music, kitschy trinkets, and the occasional St. Louis<\/a> celebrity. Its longtime owner, Joe Edwards, has invested a lot in the area recently. Afterwards, we had a few beers and played some darts and pool at the Black Derby, an excellent little dive with good music in the south side of St. Louis<\/a>.    (1YX)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
