fire in the hole

so, after we managed to get our luggage, which unknowingly provided excellent blog fodder, it was off to the hotel in the kick ass dodge charger that i was hoping to rent. it could use a v8 but it is still one. sweet. ride. anyway, as i stepped into our hotel room i thought i was walking into a haworth brochure. extraordinary. second to none. down comforters. four feather pillows. for each bed. embroidered pillow cases. furniture piece vanity. benches at the ends of each bed. flat screen tv. free wireless. a separate room within the bathroom for the throne. kohler. a shower head that could drench the entire country of kenya. in two seconds. flat. i know they don't make hotel furniture but i half expected jackie daniels to come walking through the door with a sharpie and anegre wood swatches. i mentally started to touch up scratches on the wood. and erase cords from the lamps. electrical outlets. sprinkler heads. i heard bubba telling me we had 57 rounds of color. it was due next friday. and phil groaning as background music. i have been retired for almost two years. but it all came rushing back in the one quick moment it took for me to walk over the threshold.
