Last night I picked an Office marathon over Haitian coverage and felt like a dick. I hope I'm not, but sometimes things are too big.

I am looking at booking spa vacations. if you're a dick, I am like the master of all douchebags.

Speaking of, is $600/day for room, 3 meals, and some activities (but NOT spa services) decent?

I think that sounds a little steep, depending on the activities. If you think about how much you spend on meals a day, it sounds over the top.

If I break it down I think maybe it's high, but not too bad:

$200 - room
$100 - food
$65 per - classes - my guess is I would avg 3/day

$495 would be my baseline - $100 off.

That seems cheap if it's a place known for good food. IIRC, Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires was way more than that. And I recently checked the Inn at Blackberry Farm in the Smokies and it was more than double that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

But it's right by Dollywood! That's worth something.

Dude, someday I will go to Dollywood and it will be epic.

Ok, I think I have a frontrunner then - 2011 spa long weekend. I shall start saving.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can't even begin to get started about the futility of a third world country depending on tourism as a source of foreign income. We're hosed that way, and we're pretty good at it.

New Orleans is pretty good at tourism, too. Bottom line -- Jobs, often seasonal, pay generally not too good.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I feel like I should own something with a houndstooth pattern. I have argyle socks, but no houndstooth.

Question for them that know Vegas - what hotels are super close to ceasar's palace? Like, next door and not as expensive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In the late '60s you could buy a Mercury Cougar with a houndstooth vinyl roof.
