20081225th2200, going to bed

I've checked-in at the least expensive hotel around. At $80 a night,
it's less expensive than some hotels in Iowa City. Yet, it's probably
one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed at. There are two phones in
the room - one by the bed and another by the desk. The appliances
appear to be brand new (refrigerator and microwave). The Internet
connection is an Ethernet cable that seems very fast. It's surprising
how everything is such high quality. There is a push button security
safe in the closet.

then back to my desk by 1000, if I stay on track.
