Veal and Hotel Room Smoking

Today I went to a business lunch with my female co-worker and 3 other folks from a customer's office. One of the customer's was also a woman and a vegetarian (with allowances for fish). We were in a nice Italian restaurant.

My co-worker asked me what I going to order, to which I replied, "the veal lunch special." She then proceeded to tell us that eating veal and other baby animals makes her sad. My reply was, "I get sad when I don't eat veal."

I thought that sentence should tell you everything you need to know about me.

On a completely unrelated note, I am currently staying in a hotel. I was "stuck with" a smoking room for the 2nd time in as many months. Fortunately, I have my pipe stuff with me. I have decided that I am going to change my travel profile room preferences from "non-smoking" to "smoking." Smoking a pipe indoors rocks. It's a pity that more hotels these days are moving to all non-smoking. Might as well enjoy it while I can.
