Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:
We’re number One – in presidential motorcades. And room service tab.
Absolutely un-blinking-believable.
As my buddy quipped: “For that kind of money, we could have bought Port Au Prince and held all future meetings there, for free!”

It’s all getting just a little bit banana-republican.
The last business get-together we had was in Allentown, PA for various reasons. I pointed out that we could have stayed at all-inclusives in Cancun for less than they paid for fleabags in the US. You want me to like business travel? Offset the lousy meetings by at least putting them in nice places if you can do it for less than flying everybody to Boise (like they did another year).
