Grand America

I am grateful for family. We were given a free stay at the Grand America hotel in Salt Lake (in one of the suites even). Maybe this isn't anything special to anyone, but it sure is a step up from our typical La Quinta or Days Inn visits. I am excited and feel it will be a nice reward for surviving this week. I haven't fully recovered from being sick last weekend and hate it. I just want to enjoy the warm weather which has finally arrived, instead of feeling hypothermic because I have the chills all the time....

On another note. I will be starting something new which has been inspired by Mitch and all his co-worker buddies (hi guys...now you are famous because you have been mentioned on this amazing blog). Mitch calls it Pound-for-Pound Fridays. Every Friday they pick a subject and try to debate on the best of the best, pound-for-pound (for example: best actor, best movie, best music group from the 80's, best US president, etc.). The whole "pound-for-pound" thing comes from boxing. Mitch explained it as a phrase to describe a fighter's value in relation to fighters of different weight classes. Does that make sense?

Anyways...tomorrow I will begin my own Pound-for-Pound Fridays on the blog. I'll try and think of a good topic to start with. Your comments and opinions are encouraged. We'll see how long it lasts...maybe tomorrow will be the first and last. We will see.
