There is a wisp of snow on the ground, and it is awfully cold here. Fifteen degrees or something ridiculous last night.

Beers at the Lucky Dog after arrival, as usual. Wished Rob a happy birthday and then went to bed. I always seem to wake up hung over and looking like crap. The awful lighting in the bathroom of this hotel doesn't help.

My favorite place to stay in Boise, the Statehouse Inn, is getting a remodel. Soon it will be all boutiquy goodness, and get a new name.... Hotel 43. It needs it. I stay here all the time because the hotel is convenient and inexpensive, but it certainly has seen better days. The decor is early 90's, and the aforementioned bathroom is always cold and without water pressure.

Breakfast this morning at Goldy's Breakfast Bistro. Small and crowded, but with excellent coffee (served extremely hot, a plus) and good food. I'll be going back.

Shopping at Boise Towne Square again. Left wondering what's the point? The mall was strangely empty and run down, although I did drop some money at Banana Republic (new jeans, new belt) before fleeing.

Now to figure out where to take my mother for lunch.
