Two bellmen converged on our Escalade. One of them opened Jeanne's door. The other one met me as I opened my door. He asked, "Are you checking in?" "My wife and I are already checked in. My daughters and my son-in-law still have to check in. We have a reservations for them." While Paul wasn't actually my son-in-law, I didn't see any reason to complicate the situation. As I stepped out of the Escalade, he said, "Very good, sir. We'll take care of your bags. As soon as everyone is checked in, stop at the bell desk and give us your room numbers.

Edna was so embarrassed that I was afraid she was going to slump so far down in her chair that she'd end up on the floor under the table." Jeanne was shaking her head. Giggling, Jodie said, "It almost put me off sex." Tricia laughed. "Well you certainly made a full recovery." "As did you, slut sister." Jodie was laughing too. I said, "Before this conversation goes too far adrift I'd like to finish what I was trying to explain." Jodie said, "Okay, daddy, we're listening." "Before he retired, Eddie was a traveling salesman.
