I know everyone knows this, but can I just say how bullshit upscale/business hotels are? I'm going to a conference, and staying at the conference hotel, which is a Marriott. Is there free wi-fi? No. Is there free breakfast? No. I wish I were staying at a Holiday Inn Express or similar!
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

How can a hotel not offer free wifi? That is crazy.

Oh man, that reminds me of when I attended IRA back in 2006. The hotel was isolated in some industrial district, and breakfast was $25! If I'd been paying for it myself rather than on the company dime I'd have set something on fire.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The wifi thing is special bullshit.

There are even two separate prices for different speeds of internet!

And sure, I'm not paying for any of it, but it makes me crazy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Thanks, Beverly! My birthday is, in fact, today.

Happy Birthday Sheryl!
Even talking about hotels makes me want to plan a trip, but I promised myself no travel this year until I pay down my credit line.

Happy birthday, Sheryl!
