Happy birthday, Sheryl!

The high end ones never do. Aggravating as hell.

No, there was an article on Slate a few years ago explaining the economics of that. I think it comes down to: if you can afford a high-end hotel, you can afford to pay extra for the wifi, because the reasons people choose that level hotel don't have to do with the little extras, but with the brand. Or something.

Gud, I hope today is better for you.

The Boss has her head in my lap and is whining REALLY LOUDLY. As if her heart were breaking. So I think this means we have to go running now.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Thanks all!

Hi Becky

Don't think I've seen your pixels before. Do you mind if I ask what part of Colorado? What are you feelings on the serial comma, muffaletta, and preferential voting?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey Becky!

I'm watching Empire, instead of being outside on a beautiful day, and every time Terrence Howard says, "Dwight Walker," I think he's saying "the white walker." Speaking of GoT.

Hi Becky! Welcome back to delurkdom

I am having trouble deciding how to attack today. My taxes need doing, my lawn needs mowing, all the things need cleaning: I don't know where to start.

Hi Becky! And hi Fiona!!

I think a lot of the fancy hotels let you have free wifi if you're a member of their program. Or if you're an elite member. But if I'm in the US I'd rather use my phone than pay for wifi. Ew.

Oh good lord, I just spent a minute or two trying to think how Terence Howard could be in The Empire Strikes Back. Maybe I should have coffee before trying to use my brain further.

Sure, but what if I need to use my computer for stuff??

I basically finished my to-do list before 10 this morning, so am feeling good! I need to get the laundry out of the dryer and pack, but that's about it.

Ha! Coffee sounds right.

I think a lot of the fancy hotels let you have free wifi if you're a member of their program.

Yeah, Kimpton hotels give you free wifi if you join their program, but it's still bullshit. I gotta say, I'm a big fan of Holiday Inn Express, with their free wifi and free big-ass continental breakfast. (Though the Kimpton I stay at in Chicago does have a wine hour every day, so there's that.)
