Next week I get to spend two days in lovely Bethlehem, Pa, for work (we'll be setting out around 4:30 on Monday). Anybody have any suggestions for how to best use my time there? Besides what I'll actually end up doing, I mean (surfing the internet in my hotel room).

Fun facts:

  • Bethlehem is known as "The Christmas City"
  • It has two websites
  • That is all

Go knock at all the inns and ask if they have any room? Inquire as to where your local census bureau is? Bring along Catherine and liveblog the virgin birth?

This dude I went to summer camp with lives here and he's . . . well, evil. So if you meet anyone named "Matt McQueen" go in the other direction and don't mention that you know me. Bethlehem, PA is also mentioned in Billy Joel's classic song "Allentown": "Out in Bethlehem they're killing time / Filling out forms / Standing in line."

As far as I know, there are only two things to do in Bethlehem, PA:

1. Drive to New York
2. Drive to Philly

okay... let's see

- encourages vaguely blasphemous humor
- home to at least one malevolent individual

add to that the fact that it hosts the Eagles' training camp, and we may have identified a locus of evil for the entire midatlantic.

sounds like I better figure out a new electronic toy to buy myself, and quick.
