Three tries

Check the photo.  It took three attempts to get a room at the Doubletree Stapleton.

The first room had not been cleaned.  The second room had in industrial dehumidifier trying to dry out the soaked carpet.  Finally the third room was decent.

The hotel is not bad, however, it is nowhere near the office.  Everything downtown was booked this week.

Organizing my life?

Way overdue organizing effort.
