I’m so proud of my friend Teresa for her amaz­ing essay in the New York Times. And for being awesome.

I flew on Vir­gin Amer­ica for the first time last week. (Con­clu­sion: not bad.) I hon­estly don’t under­stand this mes­sage, but I appre­ci­ate the thought that goes into the lit­tle details.

Was it as refreshing for you as it was for me?

I think I spend more time in for­eign hotels than in US hotels. Because when­ever I walk into an Amer­i­can hotel room I find it com­pletely star­tling that when I open the door, all the lights are ablaze and the air con­di­tioner is run­ning at full tilt.

Really? Do we have to be this stu­pid? In 2013?

I found an old New York Times arti­cle which sug­gests a vari­ety of rea­sons for the lack of mas­ter switches (or water-saving fea­tures) in US hotel rooms, none of which are valid. As far as I can tell, noth­ing has changed since then.

positive Hon­ey­moon in the Mal­dives. Even more amaz­ing than I could have imagined.
positive Win­ter camp­ing at Mount Moosi­lauke with Feld­meier, Xmal, Zoz, and my amaz­ing wife. A real shock to the sys­tem after 8 days of float­ing in a warm ocean, but still a lot of fun.
negative Quit­ters. Within hours of being offi­cially pro­moted to man­age the EE group, my most senior guy quits. He claims it’s a strange coincidence.
neutral Vacan­cies. Is any­one look­ing for a EE job?
positive Wis­dom Watch returns to the Scot­tos­phere after a 3-year hia­tus. (But who still remem­bers circa-1997 Newsweek?)
