In Phoenix For a Few Days
Jan. 20th, 2026 07:34 amI'm in Phoenix for a few days. On business travel. I left home after lunch yesterday— yes, traveling for work on a holiday, not my favorite— and got to my hotel at 6:30pm local time. My flight was pretty much on time, and hailing a ride to the hotel was reasonably fast as rush hour traffic was light on the holiday.
My schedule of in-person meetings is light. I've only got 2 on the calendar, one today and one tomorrow, despite trying for 4 or 5. As a result of the light schedule I thought maybe I'd avail myself of the hotel's many pools and hot tubs. ...Well, hot tubs, anyway, as the winter weather in Phoenix (highs in the low 70s) is not quite warm enough for the pool. But last night after dinner I felt tired and decided I'd just relax in my room instead of going out for a soak. Well, there's always tonight for a soak.
