A friend of mine from college, who's now a pharmaceutical rep back east, has business this week in Scottsdale, AZ, and asked me if I wanted to come stay with him at the very tony Mondrian Hotel. And thanks to the very paltry price of a flight on Southwest Airlines – 49 skins – here I am.
The place has got some serious size. It's nice to have a room in which entering does not require a flying leap and a handful of Crisco.
And last night, I realized my two new favorite words: "expensed" and "liquor."
