Dang, it's been awhile since ya'll heard from me ain't it? How long?
Well last time it was---
A dark and stormy night
We had too much rain
Gas was $2.00
I had just found my first gray hair (that's a lie)
This month found a few of us in Shreveport La. to do a little dancing and gambling. For starters the hotel was not exactly 5 stars. More like ½ moon. Nothing we can't handle. Between Ted Myers and Lynda Kauffman they got the hotel staff to see it our way. The desk clerk should heal up real soon.
There was a club in the hotel that had a dance floor and cold beverages so that's where we were Friday night.
Saturday was a day for gambling and shopping. I have been told not to mention the part about who was winning where when he was made to get up and go someplace else where he lost his shirt so I won't say squat about it. *%@^#*
That evening we went to Rockin Rodeo and had a blast Some of the locals got word we were coming and set us up with free cover and lots of new friends we just met. All the TCWDA guys danced with the local ladies but none of the guys there danced with our ladies. Don't know why that happened. We had a great time there and then went to a casino that had a club. It was a let down with a small floor and crappy music. That left losing more coins in the casino. After we lost our last shekels we called it a night.
The next morning found Mrs. Trailboss and I locked out of our room (with luggage still inside) for 3 hours. Did I mention ½ moons?
The trip home was smooth until we had to get the law on an erratic driver. Fortunately he didn't hurt anyone and the Dallas Sheriffs' department brought him to a halt. So much for a TCWDA road trip.
Let us all remember that belonging to TCWDA is a privilege and not a right. I am proud of my membership and will never do anything to sully that image. Cruise ship pictures don't count.
