Report from Anchorage Part 2

Wednesday night I spent in Anchorage at a lovely Hilton where around midnight the couple next door began engaging in some very loud and graphic "relations". I called the front desk to complain and they quieted down....for about 20 minutes. I called the front desk again and they quieted down....for about a half hour. The third time they got going not only was she yipping and barking (I'm not kidding) but he started spanking her and she replied with cries of joy and begging for more. At that point I asked for a new room. (The desk clerk said they promised both times they were going to sleep. Liars.) So at 1AM I was downstairs in my pajamas getting a room key for a room one story further up and all the way down the hall from my original one. Finally, blissfully, no more noises!!!!



Thursday went much better. The event at the Aviation Museum went great, folks had questions, books were sold and the museum plans to continue carrying my book in the future and would like to have me back. Success! From there it was on to Fairbanks arriving that night at 8PM and back into winter. It's all melting but there is so much snow. I was shoveling today. (I can't believe I just typed that.) Summer can't come fast enough.

Tomorrow is my last event, this time at a place where I used to work in front of a hometown crowd. These are the folks who know me and my story better than just about anyone; I'm really looking forward to it.
