Monday - December 29, 1997: Dallas, TX
Happy 7th Night of Chanukah!
Still in Dallas! Can you beleive it? Some roadtrip, huh?! Well, Desi sez we'll be hitting the road shortly, most probably on the morning of New Years Eve and will begin our roadtrip proper.

In the meantime, it's Desi's Mom, Dorothy's birthday tomorrow, so we had Mexican food at El Chino for lunch. Then Brad showed Paul how to set up a Website (the fruits of Paul's labors can be seen at http://www.cville.com/members/ridenour - where he is beginning to put up some family trees and such! To learn a bit about Desi's esteemed and historically very significant Cherokee Ancestory, check out Paul's page, and let him know ya stopped by!).

Excellent Dinner at yet another enormous theme restaraunt in Texas, this one called Pappadeaux's. Seafood with a Cajun flare (always a fave of Brad's). Try the Fried Alligator if ya stop in! Has quite a bite to it!
