    NB>> Wegmans makes pretty good meals, though... ;)   
      
    SD> I discovered that when I was in Williamsport often.  When my company   
    SD> was using the Holiday Inn downtown, there's a large Wegmans within   
    SD> walking distance.  My curiosity was piqued due to the discussions in   
    SD> here you've had about the store so I went over there and was not   
    SD> disappointed.  To me, the prepared meals were a bit spendy--hey, the   
    SD> company was picking up my per diem tab!--but quite delicious.  I had   
    SD> many a meal in my hotel room watching TV in bed after an exhausting   
    SD> 12-hour day (I had to work 12 hour days when I was working "remote";   
    SD> normally had to do a month or two's worth of work in three to four   
    SD> days).    
      
   And according to Michael, that particular Wegmans isn't even as good as   
   most of them... I've only been in it once, when I was enroute from   
   somewhere, and had my pregnant niece with me... she needed a potty/snack   
   stop, and it was convenient...   
      
   However, we regularly get Wegmans meals of one sort or another... we   
   generally eat there when we are in the store for our weekly shopping...   
   lots of choices, from pizza to sandwiches to their "EZ meals" to their   
   Asian or pasta bowls to sushi offerings... also there's soup and the hot   
   or cold self-serve bars...  We always eat there, but one could as easily   
   take it out and eat elsewhere...   
      
    SD> The company then switched to another hotel located on "the strip" in    
    SD> Faxon with all of the fast food and sit-down restaurants as well as a    
    SD> lot of the major shopping.  So I quit driving to Wegmans unless I was    
    SD> over on that side of town which I was occasionally.   
      
   Less convenient and you had other options out there.... :)   
      
    SD> I didn't mind Williamsport but it felt landlocked to me since I'm used   
    SD> to being on one of the "coasts".   
      
   You might feel less land-locked in Rochester, even though it isn't on   
   one of the coasts per se, it's on one of the Great Lakes, so it has more   
   of that sort of feel... ;)   
      
    SD> One of these days I'd love to go up to the Corning Museum of Glass and   
    SD> spend a few days there checking things out.   
      
   That's a pretty neat place... I've been there a few times, and enjoyed   
   it each time.... lots to see there... :)   
      
   ttyl       neb   
      
   ... I'm not loafing, I'm doing research on inertia.
