Default Tampa Vacay/Short Joke Improv LIVE!!!

No way in hell I could do a timeline after this trip. Clearly not enough brain cells left in this skull of mine to even attempt to remember it all. 15 hard years of drinking everything but shoe polish and battery acid will tend to have that affect :-). So, might was well take advantage of this little blackberry thingamajig and just do a running thread.

Just arrived at airport here in Roanoke to the wonderful news via text from Bigs and Matt that a 50-1 shot won the 2nd leg of Tampa pick 6. What a great way to start the trip!! Get the markers and pens ready Bigs, we got a long night ahead of us.

Ok, just walked the entire terminal here. Took all of about 2 minutes. No danger getting lost in this joint. A whopping 6 gates here...amazing. I'm thinking Chatauex Bigs, my accomodations for this trip, might be about the same size.
I'm thinkn food sounds good right now.

It's a half a step up from a tent. Nothing relaxing about it either. Pure chaos.

The girls did decorate with streamers this morning in anticipation of your arrival though.

Can't wait to see the girls!

Looking forward to meeting Leo and the jockeys. Be nice not to be the shortest person around :-)

This sucks. I see ZERO potential for any hot chicks on this plane. Well, at least that will make Cherie happy and set her mind at ease.
