So if you went back for seconds, they might know that. Even at the free internet connection, it just keeps track of who was in line to use the service.

I've got a lot of stuff on the go this week. I have to go back to Toronto the next two days, anyway. And one of them is taking my 14-year old son Alex to his first rock concert. The Cult. Guitar hooks, galore. I lent him my Ricky bass. Bought him an amp. Spend the weekend with him, talking guy stuff. Playing guitar together. Ya.
