First off, yes I am having a great vacation. Thanks for asking. (Or, if you didn't ask, at least thanks for caring. You do care, don't you?)

Second, over the years I have marvelled at how the Super 8s of the world will give you free internet without a second thought while the Hiltons and Hyatts will gouge you at 10 bucks a day. That just makes no sense. So imagine my delight when I discovered that the Pan Pacific at Whistler provides free net, and they have some pretty fancy schmancy digs too. (E.g. when I open my room door I'm not staring at the grill of an F-150.) This sure ain't no Super 8 (or National 9, or Motel 6). So as I speak I'm flying high on the Pan's Wi Fi. I get to blog at Whistler without having to go to Starbucks! Yahoo! (By the way, I get 5 cents from Yahoo! every time I say Yahoo! in my blog.) 

Third, as I sit here catching up with things I discovered that Edward Babinski has provided a response to my critique. You can read it here. Please do so to get caught up on the discussion. I'll be responding within the next 24 hours.

Oh, one more thing. I included a picture of Whistler Village for your viewing pleasure. And I'm in the picture too! I'm the guy walking along wearing the really cool shirt. Isn't that cool? Yahoo!
