    Great photo!

    HB and I were doing some shopping and came across a brand of tequila called "Hotel California." We of course bought it, and I made us some tequila sunrises! A photo of hers:

    I just looked up this tequila, and they have a very nice website!

    http://www.hotelcaliforniatequilausa.com/

    the story is interesting, and one of the featured cocktails is called "Peach champagne on ice" ...close enough! haha

    the hotel's website also says Welcome to Hotel California

    www.hotelcalforniabaja.com

    I want to stay there!

    it actually seems like a very nice place, all things aside...and imitation is a form of flattery right?

    This morning a tv weatherman was talking about the weather being cool for the "boys of summer" in the All Star game tonight in Minneapolis. Couldn't help but think of Mr. Henley!

    ETA: Love the Tequila Sunrises, Soda! That is a gorgeous bottle too!

    I'm surprised they haven't gotten sued! Yeah, the hotel predates the song, but they're sure doing their best to pretend otherwise.

    I wasn't sure where to put these because it's not as if I was reminded of the Eagles BY them - rather I designed them to remind my students of the Eagles, lol. Still, it's the closest we have and I didn't want to start a new topic for it.

    I had them diagram the following sentences for their advanced grammar final:

    (Sorry my hand-drawn diagrams are a bit messy and crooked with the lines! The students never see the answer key, though! )

    Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms, and the work I put between us doesn't keep me warm.

    The answer:



    You were trying to get away from the things you'd done.
    (Note: I adjusted the lyrics a bit to get rid of the idiomatic "on the run" and diagrammed "get away" as a phrasal verb)

    The answer:



    Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine left us so little to give.

    (Note: I went with "cheap" modifying just "talk" instead of both "talk" and "wine" because I felt they wouldn't be drinking cheap wine, lol.)

    The answer:

    Always in our hearts, Never forgotten
