i don't drink any kind of fancy drink.  i maybe add a little lemon or lime
to my tea, but otherwise nothing.  no sweetener.  no milk.  nothing.

i'll drink it hot in small doses, but large quantities are always consumed
over ice.

this is just my own trip though, some "manly virtues" kind of nonsense i got
stuck on years ago.  i once read something about how people who slept on
beds were "soft" so i slept on the floor for 5 years.

when i was young and i would travel, i'd never stay at a "decent" hotel or
motel, not even something like a red roof or super eight.  too fancy!  i'd
seek out some ridiculous flop house that the salvation army wouldn't even
consider using.

i thought the greatest place i ever stayed was the pioneer hotel in
cheyenne.  loaded with drunken and derelict cowboys and indians.  it just
screamed personality.  as a yahoo reviewer writes:

The Pioneer Hotel is a filthy, halfway house; full of cockroaches and yes,
it's unrenovated. This means the halls smell of urine, the shared bathroom
on each floor remains uncleaned and the wall-paper and plaster are falling
away from the walls and ceiling. Do yourself a favor, stay anywhere in town
but here. No matter how cheap it is, it isn't worth it.


today i am mostly ruined when it comes to lodging.  i think those fancy beds
and pillows they have at the courtyard are to die for.  doubletree also has
something similar.  my pioneer hotel days are surely behind me and i sleep
in bed, but i still retain taking my coffee or tea black with no sweetener.
