Monday Moanin'

.....and I have nothing to moan about. Had a great romantic weekend with Loverly in downtown Detroit. Stayed at the newly renovated Book Cadillac and it was wonderful. Spent Sunday driving around looking at some of the other Detroit landmarks that have been renovated and some that simply need to be torn down. If you are looking for a great place to go, the Westin Book Cadillac is 100% smoke free. You can't even smoke in the bars. WoooHooo!!!!!!!!! They also did a great job restoring it.

We stopped into the old Fort Shelby Hotel too. It is now a Double Tree and they did a great job with that as well.

I have seen pictures of these old landmarks on www.forgottendetroit.com and I can't believe the condition they were in and how far they have come.

I am trying to get my hands on some correct version of the Stimulus Package and what is in it for Michigan. I am a little afraid that what I have seen so far is truly what the Republicans have been calling simply a redistribution of wealth. There seems to be a lot of money being spent on underfunded Federal and State programs. That was not what I had in mind when I was thinking about economic stimulus.

I will reserve judgment though til I see the documents. I hope I am wrong and that we are spending over a half a trillion dollars on something that might make a difference.

BFN, back to work and my caffiene free diet coke.
