Heh.

Well, onedog, here is the context:

I asked for the best possible room there - for me that was the highest nonsmoking floor in the Tower, as opposed to the side wings that only go up to 8 or 9.

She said that those floors (20 and 21) were reserved for the VIPs and the long-term holders of reservations. I said, "I'm a VIP and I'll send you some stuff that supports that."

Then I faxed a page and she faxed me right back saying the "notation" had been made. When I called back, I asked what the notation was and she said, "Special Attention."

I'm skeptical, but when I get back, I'll let you know if I got the 20th floor and any "special attention."

Here's the page - I put it up for you:

After our Science article hit (see the bio), the NYT did a followup profile with a large photo, and that was also faxed to the cruise line, but I forgot to send it to the Dolphin.

You can find it at the NYT:

Just go to site search at http://www.nytimes.com/, and enter "Donna Hoffman" in extended search.

It should be the first one that pops up.
