[nagdu] hotels

[Lisa Irving]

Julie,

Comfortable? What the heck does that mean? When I'm at a hotel, I want clean 
towels and fluffy pillows, a working coffee maker is also a good thing. 
That's "comfortable" for me.  Sounds more like the old projecting and 
avoidance thing to me. Good thing you seem to be such a nice person.

Lisa and Bernie
