I wanted an open plan. When we entertain, our guests want to be in the kitchen.

We had to go to Pennsylvania to buy them up there.

The bulk of our conversation is at the dinner table.

Not as much as we used to. There's a lot of butter in there.

Guests who stay at the Hilton are paying premium dollars for a safe, secure, well-run hotel, and they deserve to have that. I don't know what's worse, all the Hilton violations or the way they keep covering them up.

We had guests here, so it was something of an inconvenience.
