Hotel gyms are kind of pathetic, but I figured it would have been at least $30 in cab fare and when I called they told me that they didn&#8217;t lend out locks like the Gold&#8217;s in Portland. I&#8217;d have to buy a $8 lock when I have a bunch at home already. Plus the towel charge. It all worked out because I was able to watch <strong>Bones<\/strong> while I was on the elliptical trainer.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like I&#8217;m going to miss a huge Microsoft party tomorrow, but I&#8217;d rather go home.
