Taking a business trip to ... ugh ... Phoenix.  Gone Thursday and Friday, might update from the hotel room and let y'all know if I have melted yet. :(

I lived in that dump for a year and a half.

Make sure your hotel is in a decent part of town.

Some of the hotels in the dumpier parts of town tend to be hosts of "hotel parties". You won't get any sleep.  :-\

Staying here:  http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hotel/PHXSPPR-Pointe-Hilton-Squaw-Peak-Resort-Arizona/index.do

Looks okay.
Hope for you it won't be too chaotic there:

From August 1 - September 29, 2011 our South Pointe lobby will be undergoing renovation, please check in at the convention center lobby.

I saw that :(

I am going to be in the room from about 11 pm until 6 am so probably won't bother me too much.

From their website, that hotel looks like it would be very fun for your wife and son because the pool looks quite elaborate, but since you plan to be in and out so quickly, I guess they aren't coming with you.

I hoped that it would be the one where my husband always stays, because I know from him that it's very nice, but I just checked and it isn't.

This is the hotel where he always stays when he's in Phoenix for a conference:

No, no family coming along.  In meetings for 16 of 24 hours and the rest is waiting at the airport :(

My sympathies. Although it beats unemployment, methinks.

As a heads up, I will be in Boston Saturday and Sunday so anyone who does not want to run into me should not come into town, especially in the Back Bay and Fenway Park, but also up near North Station, Government Center, The Common/Public Garden, and various spots between there and Fenway Park along Commonwealth, Beacon, Newbury, etc. like Newbury Comics, Hynes Convention Center, and McGreevy's Pub. Staying out past Southie, off the Red Line.

Anybody interested in seeing me on TV Saturday should watch Fox starting at 1600 EST. I am in the expensive seats on the 3rd Base side just past the visitor's dugout. Same on Sunday at 1300 but not broadcast nationally. I will have on a green Red Sox hat and black Boston Bruins jersey. I should stand out.

Carry on!
Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

Good on you for taking all things, good or bad, with humor.

You need to make a thread in the Bitch About It board so we can hear all the intimate details.  :2thumbsup:
