_____Breakfast: at the Minneapolis Hilton

• bacon, sausage,onion omelet
• hash browns
• bacon
  

I compare my hand size with the "sandwich" here and the "sandwich" is about the width of my palm!
________Lunch: at the Lions Forum, IT WAS SMALL!

• about a 1/3 of a sliced meat and tomatoe sandwich
• small amount of potatoe salad on a single leaf of lettuce
• a dollop of whipped creamme on a chocolate chip cookie
• coffee

We went to the Hilton Bar and had several bowls of popcorn and three draft beers - MDG. It was excellent and makes me sad to think that while this bar had ten (10!) different good beers on tap, Dodge City bars have maybe four (4!) "light" or "lite" or "Ultra" beers and one of two dark or wheat on tap. Our bars are "uncompromisingly inferior" (to quote a character from "Andromeda Ascendant").

_______Dinner:at the Convention Center, we had

• salad with some kind of white dressing
• a chunk of well cooked roast beef
• mashed potatoes
• various veggies
• cheese cake
• 2 cups of "decaf" coffee
• and water

Of all the meals we had at the Convention Center, this was the only good one we had. Even then, the portions were skimpy...
