It just occurred to me as I perused a few Dopefest threads (an rogered up to one), that I haven’t been to one in more than six months! The stars have lined up thusly: 1. I’ll be off the ship from 1100 Monday to 0700 Wednesday. A lot of time off, but not enough time to go see my son. 2. I’ve not done a Dopefest in a while. And haven’t done a spur-of-the-moment road trip in years. 3. I’ve got a hankering for beer, as I’ve been at sea for nearly a month with limited shore time. 4. This may very well be my **very last** underway period of my Navy career! Hey! A reason to celebrate (as if we need one)! 5. I’ve got $300 burning a hole in my pocket! So wadda ya say? Ya’ll wanna have a drink with me? I’ll entertain all offers! Here’s the criteria: 1. Nice pub/tavern/clubhouse/etc. 2. A negotiable driving distance. 3. A cheap hotel near the festivites. 4. Billiards/pool 5. Willing chicks 6. Naked chicks 7. Pretty chicks 8. Chicks 9. Chick 10. Willingness to get drunk with a sailor. Lack of 3 through 7 aren’t deal breakers. I’ll entertain all offers unless a few of you guys get together and tell me I have to be somewhere at a certain time. Then I’ll be there. I’ll confirm at 5 p.m. Sunday! ---

That should actually read, “Lack of 4 through 10 isn’t a deal breaker.” ---

Sorry. I’d nearly forgotten I had this out there (Does that make any sense?). Sadly, **Falc** , I was told today I’ve got to make a report, both written and oral, at AIRLANT tomorrow afternoon. This will keep me in the Norfolk area. Sorry. Guess I won’t be changing this week. ::sigh:: Maybe I’ll see you folks on the 10th? ---
