A funny thing happen on the way to the treble . . .

[Tom Dickson]

Jon,

   Don't ya just love it!

   I had a similar hotel experience not that long ago in a convention room 
that was supposed to be vacant.  The set up crew was there, though, and 
acted much like your group.  Plus, they decided to turn on a ghetto blaster 
for some tunes while they worked!

Sincerely,
Tom
