.....AND Summer is just around the corner!!!!!!!!

OK, so I have to say I'm a little spoiled.  I work with a great bunch of people and as a result, Fairfield Inn & Suites Portsmouth Exeter was just named a Gold Hotel by Marriott for 2010!!!  Not bad for our first eligible year!

The hotel is really starting to get busy and we're so excited to welcome back some familiar groups!  This summer should be exceptional for us!  Hoooorrraaayyy!

The Brown Bird.  Many of you have asked about this, so I will explain:  There was a man who was so incredibly unhappy in his life.  He just felt there needed to be something more than the same old grind day in and day out.

His friend suggested that he go to the Himalaya's and seek out the wisest man in the world.  So off he went, in search of the meaning of life.  It was a treacherous trip and the man suffered many painful injuries and broken bones, but after months of facing tremendous peril, he finally found the wisest man in the world.

"Oh, great wise one," the man bowed down before the very elderly gentleman, "I have traveled such a great distance to ask one question.  Please share with me the meaning of life!?"

The old man thought for just a brief moment and then spoke to the weary traveler:  "The brown bird doesn't fly at night."

"WHAT?"

The old man repeated:  "The brown bird doesn't fly at night."

"I've traveled across the world.  I've left behind everything and everyone I know.  I've suffered extensive pain and injury to seek you out.  To find the meaning of life.  After months upon months of hardship I finally find you and that's what you have to say???!!!  The brown bird doesn't fly at night???!!!"

The wisest man in the world listened carefully and then responded:  "You mean it does?"
