Problem: I'm sure the quality of care at the Mayo Clinic is great, except that I can't experience it because I can't get an appointment. I'm a new patient, and last September I called for my initial exam. It was scheduled about 10 weeks out. A month later, I had to move it as I was going to be working out of the country. No worries. Rescheduled 9 weeks further out. Later, in mid-January, their office called: the doctor would be out; nothing available in the scheduling window; they will call me. In February, I get a packet in the mail and the appointment has been pushed out another 10 weeks, to the end of April. Today, a Friday, with still another month to go before my first appointment, and fully six months after my initial call to them, I have a pinched nerve or muscle spasm. Never had this before. It's not terrible, but maybe a 4-5 on the 10 point pain scale: low-grade, dull, throbbing, persistent - don't lift the right arm or it gets moderately worse. I call to see if I might get in so I don't have to live with the pain through the weekend. I just need to see a nurse practitioner, not the (heaven forbid) doctor, to make sure it is nothing more serious. Nope, sorry. Quality of care also depends on availability. Failure.

Problem: I went to The Eiffel Tower again recently. Everything is still up to their usual standard. Great service, great views, wonderful atmosphere, and the food was superb. Maybe my all time favorite restaurant.

Problem: Went there for lunch today and spent $11.96 for the buffet and a soda. The salad with the fresh vegetables was good and the clam chowder soup was ok. The pasta wasn't the greatest and I didn't care too much for the bread or pizza. Overall this place is too pricey, especially for lunch. Sometimes you need to re-visit restaurants to remind yourself why you don't go there.

Problem: Great Crust. Great ingredients. Worth the hype of Peter Reinhart's book American Pie? Not sure. It was great though. No fresh ice tea kepts it from getting 5/5.
