New hotel

If you know me, you know my favorite hotel in Dayton is the Marriott. Some people like that new Courtyard across the river, but I just don't think you can beat the Marriott for it's people.
But, something happened when I submitted this trip request... the Marriott was booked up. Even for me, one of their top 50 travelers in 2008!
But, okay, let's do the Courtyard.
Gasp! Booked too.
WTF, right?

Anyhow, my third choice is a Doubletree in downtown. I have heard from some of the consultants that it is great. Okay, let's give it a try, I haven't stayed there before.

I just got here. The room looks nice as I walk in. and, ooo, a Wolfgang Puck coffeemaker with a fancy dual spouty thing and the coffee ground pods... oh Doubletree, you are winning me over.
then, I open this little door and what? why is the toilet nearly touching the sink?

Don't breathe into the phone!

This guy just called me at work and asked me some questions.
that is fine.
What is NOT fine is that he breathed heavily into the phone the entire time. I couldn't hold the phone near my ear it was that gross.

Business advice, if you are breathing heavily, put your phone on speaker, or mute, or cover the freaking thing. Don't breathe into my ear.
