I arrived at the resort. Asked about internet access. $12.50 a day. Not good because I'm tight and that is outrageous. Bellman took me to my room. A Ms Rachel George was in the room, no relation and not bad looking either. However, she wasn't too excited to see me. So back to the front desk. I said if they would give me free internet for the week I would forget their little faux pas. And thus the first of three IFs were overcome.
A few days ago, at the request of some friends that wanted to see some of the images that I was creating but not posting with the story, I created Trebuchet as a place to post those images. No titles, no prose, just misc images. Many of the images are alt versions of ones from the story and a few may still appear in the story. A few of them hint at possible things to come.
Since I'm only posting images to that site, I should be able to update it each day for those that need a fractal fix. Time and energy permitting, this site might see an update, but these meetings tend to be all consuming so no promises.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to wish me well. Your thoughts and comments are very much appreciated.
Hi sweetheart (waves excitedly from missouri!)
ReplyDelete:0)
glad you made it safe and sound, have a wonderful week, all productive and stuff like that :0)
tubey girl misses you already (hugs)
Other than dropping my iPod twice on the concrete--it still works--the trip was as I like it. Uneventful. :-)
ReplyDeleteWeather here in Tucson is just about perfect.
Hiya Trée, and welcome to Tucson. $12.50 a day for internet service?! Where in the world are you staying?
ReplyDeleteBTW - Are you able to access your email?
Deb, I'm at the Westin La Paloma. Thanks to their mistake, I've got access for the week free.
ReplyDeleteRight now I can receive emails but I cannot send. Don't get me started on why that is the case. Half the time I can connect to my outgoing server and half the time I can't. Gremlins is my only response. :-)
I can be reached on my AIM account or Yahoo (tgeorge_16).
The Westin La Paloma is about a 15 minute drive from us.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any free time, and want some company for lunch, dinner or
sightseeing, etc., just pop us an email!
I sent an email to you Yahoo account, but it came back to me. It could not be delivered.
You can send a message to:
(wontar at gmail)
I hope you have a great time, even though it's work. :)
ReplyDeleteDeb, thanks for the offer. All of our meals are booked and scheduled and it seems every available moment is accounted for. If anything changes, I would love to meet you guys for coffee.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what is up with the yahoo email, but you can always reach me if need be on the email on this profile.
Thanks sweetbabyk. I have a lot of good friends at this meeting and I only get to see them a couple times a year so many good times will be had. :-)
ReplyDelete:-D
ReplyDeleteYey, access!
Good to know all's well, safe arrival etc.
Thanks Sunshine. The resort here is very beautiful and I have a room all to myself, which is such a added bonus on a road trip like this. Now, if I didn't have that little thing called work, I'd be in heaven. lol
ReplyDeleteHey sweetie! Glad to see you've made yourself right at home! LOL... Free internet access for a week huh?? Hmmmm... Interesting!! ;-)
ReplyDelete~Y

ReplyDeleteHad me in stitches through this post btw. Such a nice surprise this morning to find an update and know you'll be around :)
Yes, Y, never a dull day. Looking forward to hearing more about your trip to the opera. Sounded interesting. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSunshine, glad to be able to still bring a smile to your face. Thanks for the very kind words at the other place. Much appreciated my dear sweet friend. :-)

ReplyDeleteSleep well T... Until tomorrow, Good night!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteY

ReplyDeleteTree, if you want to get gmail, I can send you an invitation! Just let me know. Gmail could help now, and it is handy to have for the future :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. That was quick thinking regarding the "accident".
good morning sweetheart, hope you have a good day in sunny Arizona!
ReplyDelete(hugs)
Jenni, that would be most excellent. Not being able to respond to emails is driving me crazy. Thanks for thinking of me. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the meeting!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting faux pas the hotel made, but in your favor.
I'm looking forward to the fractals too, although I still like the stories, you've got me hooked on the fractals.
*HUGS* to you and Jack! OR did you leave Jack at home? ;-)
holy cow...12.50! Sheesh.
ReplyDelete$13/day for internet... that's hotels for ya.
ReplyDeleteKaren, Jack always comes on the road with me. Not sure I would travel without him. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCiera, that was my reaction too--lol.
ReplyDeleteheyy Tre u left me :( aww...have fun!
ReplyDeleteKeshi.
Keshi, I'm actually about 2000 miles closer to you than before. One must see the glass as half full my dear angel. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHey sweet heart, hope Arizona is treating you well. Missing you, x
ReplyDeleteSo far so good Sunshine. I've been missing you to sweetie. Only four more days to go. :-)
ReplyDeleteA "fracta fix" - love it!! :)
ReplyDeleteBonne chance.
wfgood morning sweetie, hope you have a great day! (hugs)
ReplyDeleteok its early LOL, don't know where that wf before good came from :0D
ReplyDeleteWell Trée, I feel like I've missed a year of everyone's lives. Funny how time can stop like that.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually glad to see a post about you for a change. I didn't know where I'd start with the story anyway.
(I'm still pulling for Kyra though.)
I hope all goes well with your conference and I hope you're back with us soon. Regardless, 10pm comes every night and that moon is still there to share.
Thinking of your with much love.
Aggie
That's good to know, I'm sure Jack would miss you if you left him behind. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBlogger boxes aren't coming up, so I had to post as anonymous. (Karen)
Hey sweetie, hope you are having a great day and enjoying your sunny 70+ degree weather while some of us our freezing our butts off in the cold and rain :0)
ReplyDelete(yes I believe beach withdrawel has kicked in with a vengence LOL)
Trace, the weather here could not be more perfect. I don't think I've even seen a cloud since I've been here. Thinking of you tubey. Stay warm. :-)
ReplyDeleteKaren, you are oh so right about that. ;-)
ReplyDeletemorning sweetie
ReplyDeletehope you have a great day! (hugs)
Agree with Trace :-D
ReplyDeleteAhh, you would NEVER imagine what I walked into at a Las Vegas hotel room close to midnight....
ReplyDeleteHave a good vacation!
That is such an amusing story to hear, but I bet it wasn't so much fun to experience. Still, it put a smile on my face. I wish I could have seen your facial expressions when you entered the room!
ReplyDeleteWell, seeing her in her robe already in my room was not exactly what I was expecting. I think the bellman was more disconcerted than me. I least I got a week of free internet access out of the situation. :-)
