This is just to say I got home safe and that I hope you all had an uneventful trip home. It was a 3-1/2 drive each way to the TSC from my apartment in Alief ( west Houston ). I might could shave some time off that with an EZ-Tag. Had I had someone to help me drive, I could have done the round trip in under 6 hours. The hardest part of that drive was on Hwy. 290 in between Cypress and Hempstead. And there was a tiny traffic jam at the construction of the South MoPac Expressway around ( LaCrosse ?? ).
The Celebration of Life for Bill Russell appeared to be better than anyone could hope for when one passes on. A whole lot of work went into that. Obviously, Bill Mixon had a role to play in that. On a different note, I now have a vague idea what the TSC is all about, and some of the work that someday might need to get done. Will there ever be another crowd and feast like that there again ? The weather was perfect for camping and I had camping gear, but after nearly four hours there, I had to quietly sneak out and head home. I only took a few selfies at the TSC ( away from the Memorial Gathering. ) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k2hxofo68apszjt/AACFdXL5KqZ01GRQhx_4HLvya?dl=0 If I didn't get a chance to say hello to you at the memorial gathering, or ignored you, it wasn't intentional. When one only sees somebody once or twice a year for a few minutes, it is sort of awkward or embarrassing, to not be able to remember their name and basic stuff, like where are they from. There were people there that I had met over 30 times in the past 34 years, but very briefly each time, and so it was some what like walking into the movie-set of a "Cheers" episode. David Locklear And on a slightly humorous note, At my memorial service ( in hopefully 2065 ), I would like the food to be sloppy-joes on a toasted sesame-seed bun, grilled crab croquettes with crawfish etoufee gravy, grilled ground-sirloin with Ranch-Style beans, ice-cold Fentiman's Ginger Beer, S.O.S. ( thin beef on Mrs. Baird's white bread with brown gravy ), poached-eggs with hollandaise sauce, beer-battered french-fries, and a steamed-tamal ( Veracruz-style ), and grilled prawn-shrimp with spicy Huatescan sauce, and deep-fried stuffed avocado, and chicken marsala over angle-hair pasta. I plan to eat at least 2 or 3 of those things on my 55th birthday, which is only 60 days away.
