The water main for our house broke. So the landlord is moving us (my wife and twin two-year-olds) to a hotel for the next few weeks. Join me, as we venture into the great unknown reaches of the Courtyard Marriott The whole house reeks of sewage, and there are flies everywhere. About to go off to the hotel to make sure they can give us connected rooms. Here's a picture of my office:  And our front yard:  My current most pressing concern is, "what will become of the Turkey I was planning on smoking with pecan wood for 20 hours before Thanksgiving?"

Don't worry about the turkey. Smoking a turkey is a bad idea and smoked turkey is garbage food. Turkey is too mild to handle smoking so all you end up tasting is smoke.

You should tell him to put you up at a Residence Inn, much better for your longer stay! Plus you can get a full kitchen and actually cook a turkey still.

Sitting at bar drinking a beer and a whiskey while I wait for out food. Will post pics. Whiskey is 12 year Balvenie . Beer is not of note Fron the moment I learnt we needed to move out to the moment we got all out stuff into the hotel and unpacked was under four hours. You get to be pretty flexible when you have two year olds. Soeaking of them, they havent broken anything yet, but they keep calling people on the room phone. I'm expecting some weird wake up calls tomorrow, but none after 5, because that is the highest number they know.

your family and home weigh you down -- a constant feeling of entrapment in the back of your mind that you are afraid to acknowledge option 1: fling these burdens from yourself and be truly free for the first time in a long time option 2: kill yourself (easiest and best answer) option 3: remain a bitchmade fanny-pack family man with a weekend home beer brewing hobby and an alarmingly small 4o1k that you pretend will grow into a mighty oak that supports your dumb rear end one day

pretty much you should invest in a shotgun and spend time with the barrel in your mouth every day so it feels as comfortable as an old friend one day, buddy. one day we'll put our toe on the trigger and find our bliss.

If you traded in your Sportage, you could get 50 acres of land, a brick ranch home and some young'n healthy livestock in beautiful wyoming. Put the kids and the wife to work, spend your days fishin and nappin under shady trees, yessiree.

Here's the adult's room: I've named it The Room of Mind-Gnawing Despair Here's the kids room:  I've named it Room 2 The hard part about relocating is that I have two year old boys who intentionally destroy everything and each other. In our home, everything is at least six feet off the ground, or in a closed room. But the hotel objected to my proposal to move the air conditioner and mini-bar into the room of whomever is staying immediately above us. They'll be sorry. We'll all be sorry. Will try to wind down tonight, put on cartoons for the boys. Tomorrow, I've got big plans, including: - Moving a chair into the shower to serve as the "time out chair," and also a good place for me to cry. - Staring out the window at vagrants, hoping they do something crazy or entertainingly violent - Deciding which snack to try out of the vending machine (feel free to share your opinions)  Good night. P.S. Yes I know it's 6:30 PM. I SAID GOOD NIGHT!
