Real world update... take two
Roll ‘em…
Action!
A few of you
(and you know who you are)
The few… the proud…
I can only assume you want to know
so that you can make plans to avoid being anywhere near me.
I don’t see you getting very near my current location any time soon,
so – no – not really a problem at the moment.
I have semi-smart readers.
Semi Smart?
So we’re about at smart as Mack here them?
Well… it’s a little known fact that most of us could consider that an upgrade in status.
Hey... you're just using the same actor’s voice over and over throughout this TR.
What kind of cut-rate production is this?
Some of you
(and you probably don't know who you are)
Humph… I know who I am.
I’m… I’m… I’mmmmmm…
What were we talking about?
Some of you
(and I don't know who you are)
already know that I've gone to Toronto
Oh yeah, that’s it…
We were talking about folks who are only about as smart as sack of truck parts that purposely read your TR.
Now, who are they again?
Some of you
(really... probably none of you)
may recall that Ruby and I are planning a Vegas vacation in the early fall.
Nope… missed that detail.
So details of this Vegas vacation.
Ruth got word that she would be attending a course in Vegas,
from September 13th to 18th.
Ruth?
Ruby got word a few days ago
OK, now that name is listed in my copy of Playbill…
Continue on.
that due to budget constraints...
all international travel has been suspended.
Bye, bye Vegas!
Ah… dang!
Well if it would make you feel any better you could take the amount of cash that you figure you’d have lost in the casino, buy an equivalent money-order with it and then just mail that to me.
You get the same feeling of monetary loss and I get and an extra tuition payment.
It’s a win, win.
Sould’a bet on 00
A couple of days ago, Ruby's chatting with me and says.
"I'd really like to get away. Just for a few days."
Okay, where would you like to go?
"How about Banff? I liked it there."
Ze home of ze Burglar of Banff-ff-ff.
(oh dear lord… now why do I remember that obscure line?)
Ruby decided that she didn't really want to fly anywhere.
But she really wants to see Deadwood.
Hummmm… That could be interesting.
That’s a part of the continent that I’ve certainly never been near.
But it's closer to Mt. Rushmore.
I've been once... when I was about 8? 10? years old.
Ruby's never been.
I’m with Ruby; never been.
And it’s actually in my own country.
Lots of other stuff to see and do in the area.
There's Deadwood itself, of course.
Needles highway.
The aforementioned Mt. Rushmore.
Badlands Nat'l Park.
Black Hills Nat'l Forest.
And a whole slew of other touristy type stuff.
(Reptile Gardens! Crystal Caves! Oh my!)
OK… I’ll be adding some of these to my list of placed I really ought’a get my sorry butt over to.
A TR on the subject will really make me feel bad about it, so I’m looking forward to that.
Oh.
Almost forgot.
I'll still have some time off... and those airplane tickets.
Planning to come on down to the Carolinas then?
So it looks like I'm probably going to take Kay to Disneyworld in August, too.
Oh well, that sounds like a considerably better plan.
ETA
Not looking so good for Disney after all.
Tickets are gone for a lot of flights already. Still looking, tho.
Ahhh… Dang!
Again!
Keep searching.
Either that or mail me the tickets along with those predicted Vegas losses and I’ll use that to take a trip up to Deadwood myself.
