Until I talked to Sheila this morning(my time) i had no idea it was even a long weekend for you guys. We don't really get days off around here so everyday is the same. If you have ever seen the movie Groundhogs Day, that is the big joke. Everyday is more or less the same. So I am wishing everyone a Happy and Safe Columbus Day weekend, I am sure my friend V-BOG is already shopping for Christmas. So have a good time enjoy being with friends and family and have a cold one for me.
To my friend Kathy air freshner and febreze don't even touch it. But nice thought. In that little cracker box of a building is 3 toilets, 1 urinal, 3 showers, and 2 sinks.

HAVE A HAPPY A SAFE COLUMBUS DAY AS WELL TO MY FAVORITE NON-ITALIAN FRIEND!
Who has a 3 day weekend? Christian doesn't and the kids are in school Monday. It must be some kind of military holiday...you guys have it sooooo easy ;-)
Anyway, haven't we all accepted the myth of the discovery of America by Columbus? What he actually did was introduce permanent large scale two-way commerce between the Old World and the New - including the slave trade. Not quite the same as all the others who truly "discovered" America before him.
Stay safe :-D we miss you!

I like your diggs. Not as nice as Harrah's in KC but it is not forever. I figured I's share my KC story with everyone in light of your bathroom photos. Here it is:
Before Kevin left for Afghanistan, I flew to Kansa City to meet up with him for a long weekend. I got a room at Harah's Casino. Of all, Kevin was happy to have a clean and private bathroom that he did not have to share with 100's of ther people. The next day, he got up with a stack of reading material and headed up for the lavatory. He was as happy as I had ever seen him. Well, he was in there for a long time. I had to go to. We had spent a night of eating and drinking Guiness and I was running out of time. I waited and waited. I did not have the heart to rush him out of the bathroom after he expressed how happy he was.
Eventually, I realized that I was going to crap my pants and there were only 2 choices: get him out or find a bathroom. Again, with his trip to Afghanistan looming and the thought they he may never have another peaceful bowel movement again, I opted for plan 2. I thought, "It is a hotel, there must be bathrooms everywhere." With my cheeks clentched, I made a wobbley dash for the elevator. I got to the lobby and ran to the nearest rest room. There was a sign that said, "Temporarily Closed." Ugh! I wasn't going to make it. I ran right. I ran left. I ran past security into the business center. I felt like Eli Manning looking for Burress in the end zone during the of Super Bowl. There it was! I made it with no time on the clock. It was monumentous. I dedicated it all to the young man who left Worcester, MA with a dream and a cookbook, my brother-in-law, Kevin. Although he may not realize the sacrafices we make for him, we make them none the less. I can't wait for the day when he gets to sit on his throne in peace, reading a copy of Cooking Light. Good bless you Kevin.
Oh my gosh Ed that is too funny, I just sat here laughing out loud. I think that may be even funnier than the Afghan midget story!!
Anyone that knows Kevin knows how he enjoys his bathroom time, so that was quite a sacrifice you made to ensure his happiness before he left to Afghanistan!
Hope you're feeling better!
LOL. That was too funny. A testament to the sacrifices we make for our family!
My question is...would you have written that if you didn't find a bathroom in time? lol.
