I'm away on business tonight, staying at the Holiday Inn - New London. I'm here for a meeting tomorrow. I am lucky enough to be here with a friend. However, the situation right now reminds me of why I dislike traveling. I'm watching Deal or No Deal on a color TV in a room that smells like a hotel. I'm probably going to watch TV, because that's what people do when they stay in hotels for business.
There was a time when I thought travel was glamorous. That was in the NYPD, when the idea of the department sending me to Westchester County was magical. Now, however it has gotten old. The reimbursement process, the wrapped soaps, and the long hallways that serve to remind you that no matter how expensive the place, you're not home.
This Holiday Inn is great. They gave me some coupons and the manager even called to see if everything was fine. Deal or No Deal however, still is a horrible show.

Hi. I stayed in the room next to you at the Holiday Inn. You're funny, with all that wild red hair. I like you. You put a biiiig grin on my face.
Thank you. Very kind of you. I must now go and get a haircut though, as I'm scared of your description of my hair as "wild."
wow-- you must be special for the manager of the holiday inn to call you... it must be that platinum card.
i love your blog. and i love you.
Maybe you should come by and get coffee at the diner where I'm a chef?
