Robert, I enjoyed our time together after the funeral but unfortunately not the night that followed at the motel.
I had gotten a "bargain" rate at the Jack London Inn on Jack London Square through Booking.com. I had always considered it a good motel. However, (1) The telephone in the room did not work and I could not reach the front desk; (2) Even after two trips down to the front desk I could not get my TV to work and they didn't have anyone to come up to the room; (3) The room was cold and I could not find a heater adjustment nor additional blankets. I woke up around 2:30, put on some clothes and still couldn't sleep due to the cold. After debating the options, I finally decided to head back to Fresno and avoid the morning Bay Area traffic. I packed up, told the guy at the front desk how unhappy I was, and headed back to Fresno at 3:30 in the morning. I enjoyed the fairly empty roads and the morning sun when it finally came up.
