Fire!

Did you ever play that game in grammar school where you had to decide what three things you would rescue if your house were on fire? Imagine my surprise when at 11:30 the hotel fire alarm sounded interrupting Myth Busters. I had to think fast, what should I rescue? Well it turns out the list looked like this:

• Rental car keys because tomorrow is my flight home and, believe me, I'm going home even if this frickin place burns to the ground.
• Wallet because I need ID to get on the airplane
• Cell phone because I have to call Sue while I watch this place burn to the ground
• Laptop because I've been working on some code for 3 days and I haven't checked it into source control yet

So there you go, the rest of the stuff can feed the flames as long as I get the heck out of town and back home tomorrow. Fortunately for hotel management (and my luggage) it was a false alarm. Oh and to CeeCee, the over-served woman telling her life story to all the people in pajamas standing in the parking lot, I hope someone stuck around to chat. I had to get back to Myth Busters.
