Eventually, I stopped patrolling last night. I decided that I needed to take active steps in my defense if I was going to sleep at all. So, each time I felt the need to get up, I would close one more door on the path between the outside world and my bed. Finally, I found myself in bed with no less than FIVE doors between me and the outside world. I said: “Chris, there are five doors, all either chained or locked, between you and the outside world. You will hear them coming as they kick through the doors … and you will have plenty of time to wake up. Get some sleep.” And sleep I did.<\/p>\n

The clerk laughed and had none of it. I got a laugh out of the line waiting behind me when I asked if maybe I could have his family’s address instead. <\/p>\n One does not try to steal my house. Grrrrrrr. <\/p>\n Given that I had the deeds and trust documents with me … I think we corrected that which could be corrected on the spot.<\/p>\n Then I drove to Buffalo, NY, which appears to be a total hole. I’m writing this from the finest of restaurants – the TGI Fridays by the highway.<\/p>\n My hotel is nice though … more Marriott points for me. I think I’m at, like, 90,000 by now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eventually, I stopped patrolling last night.
