I've been on the fence about trying Mary Ruth Organics for my hair, but now that it has Michelle's seal of approval I'm off that fence. 🙂

This is an article from the perspective of some of the first responders, particularly the divers: https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/ap-responders-recall-a-mission-of-recovery-and-grief-a-year-after-the-midair-collision-near-dc/

I bought it from Amazon.fr Indigo won't ship to the US due to tariffs.

I believe it's a quote from Isabeau Levito, but I don't remember the context offhand.

I'm in the US and ordered it on Amazon.fr with an expected arrival of February 3.

I would buy a ticket so fast if NOLA ever hosted an event.

Boitano's Lounge tonight was a much better experience. There were fewer fans present, likely because it wasn't the HOF reception. I think the smaller crowd made skaters more amenable to being approached by fans if that's what people wanted to do. I met two young women who really wanted to talk...

Boitano's Lounge -- Not as good as the only other time I went in 2023 from a food, beverage, and mingling perspective. The Hall of Fame recognition portion also wasn't as well executed as the others HOF ceremonies I've been too. The presentation was a little disorganized, it was hard to hear...

The same happened to me today. Unbranded empty were fine yesterday and the day prior. Today they are interpreting "reusable" to mean "reusable AND non-disposable." I asked Guest Services what the policy would be tomorrow. They tried to blame the hockey league rules, as if the NHL is seriously...

But there's a small bar set up in a lounge off to the side that is open until 1am "if you're here for the skating" according to the hotel staff. But apparently that really means only if you're credentialed per the USFS staff at the lounge...

Overheard from the bar, while I was all the way in an adjacent stairwell on the floor below -- some man proclaiming to someone that he gave only three 6.0s in his life. 👀

Definitely skating. They all had emerged from the room just behind the USFS info desk just after it had closed for the evening. Overall it's a nice hotel! I did a quick walkthrough of the art galleries, checked out the fitness center, and the decorated staircase is gorgeous. The employees all...

Did anyone happen to see water bottle refill stations at the Enterprise Center (if we can even bring in empty bottles)?

YAY - I didn't get bumped down into a bunk bed room. BOO - I was seated for dinner in the bar/lounge and "the big shots" as the wait staff is referring to them is behind a latticed wall in the proper dining room. Eta: This is a  very funky, artsy hotel and not the place I'd think of to place...
