One Saturday I went to retrieve the mail. We had been back from our Jamaican odyssey for a month. There was the usual complement of postal materials, but one envelope caught my attention. It was embossed in gold and the return address was J. Willard Marriott, Paul Marriott, Marriott International Corporation, Washington, DC. I walked into the house, sat down at my desk, and grasped my letter opener. As it smoothly cleaved that piece of mail, I thought: “How nice of Paul Marriott to write us, especially after all the kindness and accommodation he showed. There was one sheet of paper contained in the fancy envelop. It was a bill for $733.00!

No such thing as a free lunch, know what I’m sayin’? C’est la vie!
