Well, I'm Downtown after work, so will probably just head there after 5. I may run an errand or two and show up around 5:45 or so.

Sounds good.

Although, at the rate my training class is going, I may be out of here even earlier. We just finished the entire training agenda for the week, and it's not even lunch on the second day or a three day class. :eek:

I also have family out in NoVA that would have gladly let me use a guest room but they don't live close enough to a Metro station to make it convenient.

It's a work trip so when I saw the (relatively) reasonably priced Marriott I jumped on it. No inconveniencing anyone (except myself) and its (more or less) convenient, and there will be no awkward questions from auditors about the validity of "hotel COIE" and minibar charges posted to the amount of $:rolleyes:.

My apartment has an open bar.

Careful. Spread info like that on the Intertoobz and you might end up with an ALCO + szg infestation.

It was in an industrial complex and I forget why exactly I was there, but I imagine it was to move something heavy. Anyway, I smelled baked goods (I'm like a pig to truffles) and, using my toucan instincts, followed my nose.

I just walked in and asked the receptionist for a tour and they were happy to oblige.

If I mention anything about the fuzzy bubble coffee, I'll -- wait -- I've said too much.

Tell your school to change their name. When I hear Miami, I NEVER think of the school in Ohio. I believe 99% of the US population thinks this way too. What is their mascot? How many national championships have they had? How many ex-cons do they have on their team?;)

That's why they are generally listed on the ESPN Ticker as Miami (OH). The fearsome Hawks!

Nope, just obsessive, it would appear.

Being born in Miami, and growing up in south Florida, I had never known any other school called Miami. When they played each other sometime in the 80s or 90s - I forgot exactly when. I was like, "there's another Miami?" Of course, the 'Canes crushed the other team.:p

I'm not sure if anyone here is still considering Amtrak to get to BWI for the BWI-SEA runs, but they're having a 'Winter Sale' for travel through April 5.
