Aaaaaaaaand … I’m _in_ South Carolina where I’ve just spent the last 4 hours watching really hot bartenders with many tattooes dancing atop bars all while a vendor picks up the tab. Life is good. ---

Unfortunately, it’s at a hotel near the airport, so I don’t really get to see Kansas City, and I’ll probably have to eat nothing but room service for 5 days.☹ Going home today! Not a moment too soon. Airport shuttle in 1 hour. Boy, the time’s gonna drag. ---

I would just like to add how impressed I am with myself for my prevoius post, in spelling and coding, considering that at the time I was three … no … four sheets to the wind and I couldn’t have coherently uttered my name let alone remember what it was. Working hard here in SC. ---

This coming weekend, we’re going up to Dallas for a tournament. The following weekend, we’re going to Denham Springs, LA for a tournament. ---

Nowhere. It’s my stepdaughter who does the going. She doesn’t even have to tell us; we just have to google her to find out what international conferences she’s been to and been a presenter at. And this was the moody teenager I met sixteen years ago… ---

> [@Jonathan\_Chance](#): > > Wyoming in July. Mountains, high plains, Devil’s Tower and with luck the stars! My trip is similar. A friend and I are flying a small plane to Rushmore, Devil’s Tower, and Yellowstone. We plan to fly over/past as many of the attractions as the FAA will tolerate. We’re excitedly putting together our charts, survival gear\*, and music selections (noise-canceling stereo headsets should add to the experience of watching these monuments slide past the wing). \*As flatlanders, we find the Rockies slightly daunting; We’re probably overdoing it, but I always take water and food when flying over the desert, too.
