The personal disquiet of

Mark Boulton

March 15th, 2004

Texas, not quite grasped tea.

I’ve now been in Texas for 3 days. I’m writ­ing this post in my Hotel room, on the laptop I said I was going to buy (which is excel­lent by the way). Over­all the exper­i­ence has been been good so far. The flight was ok, the hotel is superb, the con­fer­ence is really good and the food is fantastic. 

The bad stuff is, tea. First off you have to ask for hot tea, then your have to say what type of tea you want, and then 50% of the time the tea that arrives is wrong. Then, you have to ask for milk, at which point cream arrives. You get the idea. Amer­ica would be a bet­ter place if they got the tea right.
