The last time I won at a card table was at a Greyhound Bus Depot in Kansa City. The dude running the game look a lot like Ian Dury and my guess was the card table had short legs due to my having to stoop to his level. The only reason I won had much to do with my being young and naïve at that time, of course the depot security that was scoping out the terminal nearby had not a thing to d9 with the profuse sweat that was rolling down the dealers face. I managed to eat on the ride home to Arizona, but I now realize that it wasn’t due to any skill that I possessed.  |

As an after thought, imagine a poker tournament via USM. Hekler, L.D., yourself, myself Ginger, Zema, Radman……… |

Hey Larry  I'm about the worst card player, ever."L.D."---Ain't that the truth! We had to sleep in the woods and if it wouldn't have been for me, we'd have starved to death, too. "Diamond Jim Kronk" gambled away all our meager bankroll cutting cards with "Timothy Leary," no less. kronk---"He" promised me an audience with the "Dali Lama," if I played just a few hands. I think he spiked my lemonade. "L.D."---I'd better sit in for kronk in that game, Hey Larry. We'll get him to cook dinner and serve refreshments. kronk---Ugh!  |

Sounds good to me,…uh…no mushrooms in the Hors D'oeuvres though. And I’ll bring bottled water! |

...I also dream back to the days when the term "woke" wasn't part of the common vernacular. |

Well Hekler, the suggestion regarding a poker tournament is not set in stone. And “ woke” in my day was a term used by my Mom to get my lazy behind out of bed and ready for school. |

Can I go? kronk---I don't know, dog? Where you invited? "L.D."---Certainly! There it is in black and white, down in Hey Larry's comment. kronk---Oh, I see it know. Cool! I put you in one of those wooden packing crates and we'll save a bunch on tickets. "L.D."---How about a few air holes in the crate, this time! I almost smothered the last time, on that trip to "Trinidad and Tobago." kronk---Yeah, well, sorry about that, dog. I was distracted. "L.D."---Must've been that "1976 speedo" that Nancy Patricia was modelling. kronk---I'm going to miss that gal. She was always good for a few laughs. "L.D."---Me, too. But, sooner or later, a body has to give "it" up and settle down to raise the great, great, great grand children. Anyway, so where's this card game taking place? kronk---I'm not sure, but I'm going to suggest we meet in some "politically neutral" place. "L.D."---Really? Is there even such a place? kronk---I think that "Hope, Arkansas" would be a good location "L.D."---Are you kidding? That's "Clinton country." kronk---Yeah, but he never goes there, anymore, and I've heard that the local moonshine is out of this world. "L.D."---I don't drink. kronk---I've also heard that the pack rat population has exploded in resent years. "L.D."---Now you're talking! |

Purple Roses Hey there, lady! It's been a while. I'm happy that you are still around. As for me, I still hang out, here at USM, quite a bit. Thanks for the kind words and take care of you. |
