What do you need church shoes for? Jesus wore sandals.

Well, maybe if he'd had better arch support, they wouldn't have caught him.

It was the best of times...

I'm in San Diego this week for a work trip. Upon check in at the notable Hyatt Regency Islandia, I was informed the water was out until 3:30pm; I arrived at 2pm. According to the front desk, the water was out in the entire hotel but I could use the bottled water at no charge to "freshen up." And I did.

After meandering for a bit, a group of us decided to go for a run assuming the water would be back on upon our return. At 5pm the water was still out. A pipe had burst after the supposed reinstatement of the water. It would be on in one hour. Hmph. Dinner was scheduled for 6pm.

I bathed in bottled water. I use the term bathe loosely. I got to splash some water on my face and then a wash cloth. It's kinda like camping, but inside for $132 a night...without bugs. I was told the toilet had "one flush left." I thought it best to save that flush for an emergency. I sprayed perfume in my hair since cold, bottled water wouldn't clean it. As of 6:15pm there was still no water, but the hotel served complimentary lemonade for everyone. I began to wonder if lemonade could be a viable substitute for water. Could I bathe in it? Could it be worse than not bathing?

During dinner I discovered a wonderful new beer - Bourbon Cask Winter Ale. After three of pints of this tasty treat if I wondered again, could I bathe in it. Mmmm, beer skin. Even better, beer hair.

The water is finally on at 9:30pm and I got to finally flush the toilet! It's the little things that mean so much.
