Jerry, Just trying to expand your retired butt's horizon.
Donna, Get me a autographed 8x10 of Megan while you're there!!
Liz, If I had total control I would bring back the trampoline.
I guess maybe the price isn't that bad if you are up there when the world ends. Guess that's why they rushed to get this hotel up and running by 2012.
