Back in Carlsbad, life takes on the usual flow of dinner at KS and a Belgium Brown Ale. We're only a few days away from Oatmeal Stout!

After a fun weekend, it was back to the usual non-fun hotel life. Long days, nothing to do besides work at night makes for an empty blog. So sad. I have calculated that by May I will be at the halfway points for both United & Marriott for status renewal (Yea!) so this is working out for 2010. I think stuff may have happened in the world while I was in a bubble but my priority tonight was to destress by watching Rock of Love Bus. It is the best.
While I'm home in California, I'm not really home. I arrived and spent the night near LAX and now I'm in Ventura as I have one of the rare weeks where I'm in an office for a few days. My puzzle now is how can this hotel be so cold and a/c running inside when it's 50f outside but in Amsterdam it was 35f outside and I was never once cold in the hotel? Oh the mysteries of hotels.
White beer is not a good idea. I was on a quest to drink dark beer in Amsterdam. I went from a Stout, to Heineken, and ended up with a White Beer. The last dinner ended up a Hard Rock and this was the only unique beer choice so I went with it frothy lemon wedge and all. Witte Tap means "white beer on tap". Dark beer lovers ignore. It is pretty hard to talk about Amsterdam without getting flagged by Blogger. I had a bit of trouble logging on today but all seems to be okay. One of the walks that I went on took me through the red light district. In San Diego, there is a strip club in Point Loma that sometimes has a girl in the display booth to bring people in. In Amsterdam, the booths are rows of rooms all dowsed in a red light. The girls in the room are wearing no worse than a bikini top with a thong but what is amazing is the reactions from men as they walk down the street. One group of college guys had to control one of their own as he was screaming in hysterical excitemen...
