Northampton

The calling hours and funeral were both quite sad, but it was great to see how many people care for Melissa and Zach. They were surrounded by friends and family, which is always a good thing.


I stayed at the Clarion Hotel in Northampton with my uncle and cousin. It was an interesting experience, to say the least.


Amy and I were watching ER, when Bruce asks, "Do we have a leak in our room? Does anyone else hear that?"


We look up to see:

Yup, that's water leaking through our ceiling. It was A LOT of water leaking through our ceiling! It started at the wall, and was dripping about 18" out into the room: dripping on the TV, dripping on the dresser the TV was sitting on, and dripping all over the floor.

We called maintenance, and the guy comes down to our room. We point out the leak, and he replies, "ummmm....yeah, you're going to have to move, I can't do anything about that right now."

So we moved to a new room upstairs, but not before we took this photo:

Yes, that's Amy with an umbrella INSIDE of our room!!!

You can see the giant watermark in the ceiling. By the time we gathered all of our stuff to leave, the water had extended more than halfway across the room, and was hitting the edge of Bruce's bed.

Needless to say, Amy and I laughed hysterically!
