We interrupt your regularly scheduled program...

Our ground agent just called to let us know that he's going to be staying in a hotel in Erfurt next week... with George Bush. The hotel just told him he won't be able to stay in his usual suite (ah, the perks of being a ground agent), since Bush and company will be occupying the entire top five floors. The kicker is... a few weeks ago, when I was on the road with the group of Indian women, we stayed at that hotel, and they had to bump us up to the 15th floor "executive suites" since the rooms for commoners were overbooked. Which means that in a once-removed sort of sense, I will have shared a bed with, not Bush himself, certainly, but perhaps some lesser Bush minion. Just one fuzzy white bathrobe away from the president... hmm. Lemme tell ya, if I ran into that guy in my hotel, we'd have words.
