So Candlewood Suites apparently offers free broadband internet to its patrons now (new this year!).
Yay!
It is kinda cool. I've been in hotels that had broadband in the rooms, but it's never been free before.
Oh and Mary, notice the proper use of "its" and "it's" there...
So yeah, I'm bored. Quite, quite bored.
So I figured I'd share my boredom with you, my insanely hot, imaginary fanbase.
I'm down in the Philly area this week on both business and pleasure.
Spent the Easter weekend with Mary's fam in South Jersey. This is quite a big holiday for them (and honestly, not a very big one for my family), so it seemed a good time to make the trek.
And let me say, I had a great time.
Her family is, to quote my departed grandmother (Banana), a "hoot". I immediately felt welcome. Heck, they even made up a (HUGE) personalized Easter Basket, just for me.
We went to Catholic Mass Easter morning, where I once again forgot that their version of the Lord's Prayer does not end with "For thine is the kingdom..." I got several words in before I noticed I was the only one talking.
I then sat there, in shame, while 99% of the congregation went up for Communion (talk about Catholic Guilt! Hey-yo!) for I am naught but a filthy Protestant...
Dinner afterwards was, to put it mildly, gargantuan. Every bit of it massively tasty, but I couldn't even begin to squeeze it all down.
I also met parts of the extended fam, and some friends, and talked about all sorts of things, including, oddly-enough, extended talks about Civil War history (a favourite subject of mine).
Okay, this is starting to sound like some sort of weird book report, or "What I did over Easter Vacation" essay (am I at 500 words yet?)
And now I'm in a hotel room outside of Philly, as I'm working in our office down hereabouts for a few days (since I'm in the area anyway).
And I'm bored, bored, bored.
Oh, and can I just say that my opinion of CNN can not drop any lower? It has become the all Terri Schiavo, all the time network. Oh, peppered with riveting updates on the Michael Jackson case...
Yuck.
Thank god for the Family Guy (the watching of which just caused me to pause in my typing for several minutes).
Ah well.
Not much more to do here. I guess I should get some sleep.
And that's what I did over Easter Week.
The End.
