Well, of course, it is Father's Day so I'm thinking about my dad. He passed away in 1985 so it has been a good long while. He was the greatest man I ever knew and I miss him still. I supposed I always will, but not in a sad kind of way, more just wondering what he would have been like in his older years. He gave me much good advice when I was a teenager and into my very early 20's before he passed away. I value his advice to this day.

Missing Puplove, of course. I'll be back home on Wednesday, but I'll miss her and the fur kids while I'm away. Wishing she was here.

I got a major upgrade on my hotel "room". I am in what amounts to an apartment in a a hotel that was originally opened in 1925 in downtown Tulsa. It was completely refurbished and reopened about a year ago. It is beautiful, complete with marble floors in the lobby, a grand staircase and crystal chandeliers everywhere.

My "room' has a living room with a 42" television, a couch and two chairs, a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, dining room with a table for four, a two room bathroom, a huge marble walk-in shower with full body sprays, and a king-sized bed in the bedroom with another 42" television, desk, dresser and two sitting chairs. Eventually, this will be an apartment but they have to operate as a hotel for some period of time and then they can rent places like this as apartments. My gain! And, I only have to walk out the front door and across the street and I'm at my company's corporate office building. This will work out just fine!
