The TV Stays On!


Last winter we got a couple of gift certificates to a ski resort just outside of Anchorage. They sat on our kitchen counter for several months waiting for just the right moment to come along.

That moment has arrived - my birthday. Joyce called the lodge and the birthday room was booked! Credit card to hold the reservation? No problem, after all we do have two gift certificates, and together they are pretty healthy. However, just before she hung up, Joyce asked, "how much is the room?" ... 2__$ a night?! You have got to be kidding! They weren't.

I'm now making plans for the birthday room. At 2__$ a night you can't actually sleep! I'm thinking of taking a nap just before check-in so I can stay up all night and get the most out of the room. I may actually wear the robe that is supplied in the closet. If I only knew who wore it the night before! Oh yea, I'm keeping the shampoo and the TV stays on - all night.

I'm beginning to think that the following Sunday may actually be a day of rest for me. After staying in a 2__$ a night room, I'm probably going to be exhausted. But, what can I say, it should be a great birthday.

Brother, I hope you had a great birthday. Sarah and I got to go visit a friend who was staying there recently, and we also wore ourselves out. It was wonderful :-)
