I checked into a Marriott Hotel in Washington DC last week...walked into the room and stopped. The room was the exact same design, set-up, furniture - everything EXACTLY the same as the Marriott in Atlanta. I know what you're thinking..."Every hotel buys the same furniture and has the same design, same room layout..." I know this, but THIS particular room is significant, because I made a decision about my life in THIS room in December, 1998. The decision would change my life over the course of a few years - but the only impact on THAT night...was I didn't get laid.

Anyway...being back in that room last week, I had two nightmares on two consecutive nights. The last one - I'm flying in a plane (small plane) and the pilot, a friend and I are going to take off. We get speed, move fast down the runway and as we begin to rise into the air...a gust of wind comes up and pushes us back. The wings turn into bird's wings, then sails...and keep us from taking off. We try again, build speed, begin to lift and whew...more wind and we are on the ground...again. I took it as a sign and checked out.

Hello, Hilton...nice to see you again.
