Brrrrrrr!

Greetings, blog readers! This message is coming to you from Cleveland, Ohio.

I walked the three blocks from my hotel to the office this morning and the thermometer on the Huntington Building said a whopping 13 degrees. I almost took a picture of it with my cell phone, but figured that I might look more than a little insane (or have someone turn me in as a possible terrorist). I did take a couple of pictures from my hotel room window last night and if I can figure out how to get them from my phone to the blog, I'll post them for everyone to enjoy.

Things I could see from my hotel room:

• The Cleveland Public Library (be still my heart!)
• Cleveland Browns Stadium
• Lake Erie

One of my co-workers who was also staying there was jealous, since her view only included the back of the building next door. Lucky me.

I really like the "oldness" of the buildings downtown here. It's so much less sterile than the glass and metal buildings of downtown Dallas. TLS said that if I wanted to move here, I was on my own, so I guess that isn't in the cards!

You're Gonna Wish You Were Me

Guess what groovy blogger chick will be going to the exciting, happening city of Cleveland, Ohio next week?

Yeah, that's right. Me.

I know what you're thinking, "Cleveland in January. Girl, are you crazy?!"

I know it isn't the optimal time to visit the so-called "mistake on the lake" but I had no choice in the matter. The training I need to take is there and January 24th-25th is when it is happening.

Oh, and did I tell you the best part? My flight leaves at 6:45 a.m. Thursday morning. Ooh yeah. I'll be getting up about 3:15 a.m., but in the life-is-good column, TLS is taking me to the airport and picking me up Friday night. Kudos to him! (Love, love, love that man.)

I promise to try and bring back some hilarious travel story or stories for you. In the mean time, here's the link to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
