Subj: On the Road VII: Chattanooga, TN -- Departure
Date: 8/30/98

In a few minutes I will check out of my hotel room and return to my boring life in Lawrenceville, GA. Before I go, I'd like to leave you with these closing thoughts:

Life should be like a Days Inn. In life:

* you should know how long you're staying.
* somebody else should change your sheets and give you fresh towels everyday.
* there should be a free, deluxe continental breakfast every morning from 6:00 until 10:00.
* HBO should be free.
* you should be able to choose your checkout time.
* when you leave, you should be able to take all your stuff with you.

That's my new philosophy. Have a good week, everyone.

Christopher B. Burdett
