she636re.23612.jpgSheraton Harborside Portsmouth - what a great location. My arrival was anticipated by the staff and they had a great room on the club level ready for me as soon as I could check in. The view across the river was nice on a cold and sunny day. I was tired from my journey so I found my way down to the Harbor Restaurant and enjoyed an early bird menu item. A fine Pinot Noir helped me relax as I watched the sun go down.

The piano player entertained me and the other guests with some great music. My ovation was answered by a personal visit to my table and an offer for any special requests. I gladly informed the gentleman that I enjoyed the music of Floyd Cramer, especially the song "Last Date." The pianist left and I returned to my meal. An excellent dish of scallops and crab. As I enjoyed my meal, to my delight, off the strings of the piano sang a most beautiful rendition of my request. Sated, both physically and mentally, I made my way upstairs to the well appointed room for a most relaxing night ready to face another day of trying to understand why people do what they do as a consulting root cause analyst at a nuclear power plant. A fine start to a great week at a wonderful location.
