What Is Sum1 Up To Today?

         3/20 - 3/30

         I have to say, it's a lot more fun, with interesting things to do when you travel for fun vs Business Travel.  I knew that already though.  We left Richmond about 11 am Saturday after Faith (his breeder) finished showing him in the dog show.  I wanted to leave by 10 am but that wasn't possible.

         Buddy was one confused dog, that I will say.  He loves being with us, but he loves Faith and Nathan just as much,  He was more active with them too, so I have to step it up a bit here and keep him going.  That's fine, I need the exercise.

         Driving home we planned on visiting the Flight 93 Memorial near Shanksville, Pa.  In case some of you have forgotten, Flight 93 left Newark Liberty International Airport on 9/11 heading to San Francisco.  Terrorists took over the plane, the passengers revolted against them, the flight crashed near Shanksville.  Visiting the site is a very somber experience, The two times we've visited my eyes have leaked some just being there.  I do recommend visiting the Memorial, it helps us remember that day in reverence and understand a little more about our world.

         On our first visit there in 2018, the Tower Of Voices was not complete.  We visited the site in May 2018, the tower was dedicated in September.  I've added a couple of links you, should you want to know more about the tower.

         We spent the night in St. Clairsville Ohio again, this time though was quite different.  Children in the adjoining room were until 11 pm screaming and shouting and in general being children.I called the front desk twice, once at 10:10, the second time about 10:45.  The front desk was no help at all.  At a little after 11, I did what you shouldn't do, and knocked angrily (Hard) on their door.  A woman answered it, and I explained that the children were keeping us awake, making it impossible to sleep.  There was more said, but you get the idea.  I saw at least 4 women in the room, and possibly the same number of children.  That room sleeps a maximum of 4 if I'm not mistaken. Believe it or not, 5 minutes later (maybe less) there wasn't any noise in that room!  Afterwards I realized that if a man had answered the door, there may have been a physical altercation.  Yeah, I would probably be on the losing end of that. I'll be calling the GM tomorrow to discuss what went on.  If he doesn't supply satisfactory answers, I'll be filling a formal complaint with Hilton Honors.

         We arrived home today about 4:30 CDT.  I am tired, I took my weekly Dexamethasone dose yesterday, not surprisingly I managed to get about 4 hours of sleep, then drove a little over 7 hours to get here.  There was a slight delay at exit 4 of I-70 due to a Tornado warning.  Then there was a closure of a portion of I-70 for some reason, likely storm related.  But home we are, all 4 of us, Me, Kathy, Suzi {Schipperke), and Buddy (Akita)

         Til next time, Be good, treasure those you love, and Write!
