Falls Church, Virginia (CNN) -- Garrulous and active, 79-year-old Joy Bricker presides over her hotel suite in a manner befitting a grander home. She offers tea to the staff and media with the ease of a person schooled in proper etiquette.
Like many hotel guests, Bricker has learned to make herself feel comfortable, making her room a home away from home. Only, Bricker has called the Towne Place Suites by Marriott, in Falls Church, Virginia, home for more than 10 years.

After that is Clapton Unplugged. If I had to be on a deserted island and could only pick four CDs, the third would be Pink Floyd Momentary Lapse of Reason. The fourth, Dire Straits Brothers in Arms.
If I had to pick my favorite it would be the Pink Floyd album, ‘The Delicate Sound of Thunder.’
Yeah, that commercial in the middle really surprised me, too! Think I’ll stay with YouTube if that’s going to happen.
That would be my fifth. Shine On You Crazy Diamond. So much Pink they have their own niche. Eagles the same. Geez! I have everystuff. Guess I’ll stay away from deserted islands.
Clapton and BB King, Ridin’ With the King. More Clapton. Alan Parsons Project everystuff. Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Pleasure Dome...one side MUCH better than the other.
And just like the Hotel California live, I like the Clapton Unplugged version of Layla better than the original too.
Heh - when I arrived at basic training, I managed to smuggle in a pat benetar cd.
Can’t stand her music to this day.
