I would like to add my recommendation for the Sportmen's Lodge Hotel. It is located close enough to the gulch to walk and even though it is not recommended to walk at night, I did. As far as service goes, top notch. Everybody from the top down wanted to ensure everything was going okay. If there were any problems, they made sure it was taken care of immediately. All the workers I spoke to were happy to work there. That's a testamony to the owner Bill and it shows. Not to mention all of his female staff were hot. I was in the junior suite which is a good size room and bed. Cable tv and if you need a computer to work on, I believe there were four that you could use day or night.

As noted before, later in the afternoon and at night, there are usually girls in the bar area. Like everything else, it's all about the timing. Everytime I went to the bar, the best looking girls were already hooked up. The girl policy for this place is very good and no extra fee to bring them back.

The front desk will arrange any tours you need, taxis and just about anything else you may need. Plus they make you feel like you are at home and not a hotel. Like someone wrote before, this is a place where everyone knows your name.

Q

Yes, I'm feeling homesick for my room(s) there right now. Adding it up, I've spent 19 nights there this year -- yikes! Maybe I need to buy a room as a timeshare? Missing everyone there, too -- it was like rolling out of bed in my frat house each morning, wander into the living room or kitchen to see who's up and what's going on. There's always something, and almost no down time in between exciting events and interesting people.

Yeah, CG -- I had to get away for at least a little while -- 2 mortgages to pay. Hey! Maybe Bill and I could just swap, uh, mortgages...

Home still seems pretty unreal. Is it a normal Day Five of withdrawal to be spending the whole day thinking about selling your house?

Hey, you'd dig my latest idea: the Marianna's A**Cam -- put a little GPS tracking chip in her back pocket and just let it zoom in and follow her around all day, from the moment she walks in... Little bit o' Heaven. Just something I'd like to have at home, and not feel so far away. Actually thought of it first as video piped in to my hospital room for the last thing to see as I exit this world -- but then realized I wouldn't want to wait that long. (And haven't.)
