I wound up having to stay in a hotel out by the airport. The weather was lovely, and since I got out of work early yesterday, I would have liked to sit out in the sun, by the pool, to read my book.
Alas, it was an indoor pool. But that didn't stop me.
The hotel gave me a free postcard. It didn't look like the hotel at all.
But that didn't stop me either. While sitting by the pool, I filled out the card to send it to my parents.
I write them the strangest notes. It's a good thing they love me anyway.

I was going to write a comment, but when I saw it would be characterized as an interesting observation I thought I best not.

Friends of Kilroy Carnival...hope you'll join us. Your links can come along; it's two degrees of separation.
Cheers!
Love Edith Wharton. That's all I have to say.
This was, by far, the best of the Wharton novels that I have read. It might have even cracked my top 5 of the Modern Library list.
Much better than the movie in my opinion, but maybe that's because I can't stand Wynona Ryder. I also really like House of Mirth and Ethan Frome. mmm...this makes me think of Henry James too. Haven't read him in a while.
I actually got to stay at the Waldorf. It's not all that it's cracked up to be.
Mad: I didn't say I wanted to stay there, I said I've wondered. I often wonder about hotels -- usually when their quaint or old. (The Library Hotel is one that really piques my interest.) But, as I noted, I have never wondered about the Sheraton Newark Airport, despite having driven past it on the Jersey Turnpike a number of times.
I have never read anything by Edith Wharton. Gotta love the Library Hotel !!
Do I dare ask why you were stuck in a hotel in Jersey?
Paul: I've just driven by, but it looks like a fun place to stay.
beakerz: Work. It's always work.
Not only cute shoes, but good reading tip. Thanks!
The shoes are my comfy commuting shoes -- a cross between ballet flats and tennis shoes. They're by Rocket Dog, and cost about $29. What you can't see is that they have cute little embroidered flowers on them.
