on the road again...

The dogs were *fabulous* in the hotel. I couldn't have asked for any more, they were that good.

Tweak, not having Pacie or Millie to play with, keeps trying to engage Freddie into play. That's being received about as well as a fart in an elevator.

The conference is good - the sessions I went to were pretty informative. I have the general session for a few hours, one more session at 10am, and then I'm on the road to PA.

The weirdest experience has been the casino. It's very nice, things are somewhat affordable, and the people are super friendly and helpful. The one thing that makes me double take each time is that they're allowed to smoke there. Inside. On carpeted areas. Inside.

In MA, there are about 2 places left that people are allowed to smoke inside in. I know they can in smoke shops and so far they still allow people to smoke in their houses. You can't smoke in bars, clubs, malls, stores, restaurants, offices, or anyplace that people work.

It's been that way for a while and while I hated it when they first made the law, I've come to appreciate it while shopping and eating.

Here? They smoke everywhere. At the slot machines, at the tables, in the hallways, in the mall, everywhere. I can't get used to it. It's too weird.

Tonight we're meeting up and doing dinner at the Outback.

But first I need to find a Dunkin Donuts.
