"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But I went! And had a so so dinner, fantastic conversation, and 5 Sazeracs. Um.

Yay! And drink some water and take some aspirin before you go to bed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've never had a Sazerac, but they sound tasty. Are they tasty?

Very tasty. I have just drunk some alka seltzer (nectar of the gods) and will have more water.

Hec! All my hair cut off into a pixie today.

A banner day! No wonder you felt like celebrating.

It's the very first cocktail!

Ooh! Pics, Brenda?

I went to a swing dance convention and had a good time. More in the morning. What I didn't know: the dance was listed as going to 12:30am, but that was just the competition/spectator part. Apparently people then start really dancing and go until like 5am. I, however, will not be doing that.

To market , to market, to buy a fresh... spinach?

Then home again, home again, jiggity-jig.

Or something like that.

Punishingly Intricate

Hivemind! We are about to leave the place in key west we've been staying in all week. Do we leave a tip for housekeeping? They haven't been here all week but will be cleaning our week's mess. What would you do?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is it a VRBO type situation? I have never tipped in that scenario (but then, I forget to tip housekeeping in hotels half the time, anyway), because usually there's a cleaning fee built into the cost.

Real estate company owned property but basically same as vrbo. I'm inclined not to tip but was seized with indecision!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd tip a dollar for every night multiplied by the number of people who stayed in the place.

Back when I used to regularly stay in hotels for work (insert nostalgic sigh) I'd try to tip every day, to make sure that I hit the actual person who actually cleaned up that day.
