Using frequent flyer miles and hotel points, we decided to head to Dallas last weekend for a 50th birthday party for Tim G. The weather on Saturday was fine but the forecast for Sunday was for 6 to 10 inches of snow and we were not sure we'd make it back on Sunday - even packed an extra pair of jeans just in case. We met Rita, Kathleen & John and Tim & Felicia at the hotel. Pat had made reservations at our favorite restaurant in Dallas when we lived there - called Oyster's then and called Remington's now - and it was a lot of fun to have dinner with everyone. The party at the Gavin's house was crowded and fun. Most of our group (Felician and John went back to the hotel before midnight) stayed until about 1:30. I can attest that if there are 3 people sleeping in a king size bed, the best place to be is in the middle - I didn't have to worry about the bottom sheet slipping off and I always had covers on the top. We stopped by the Gavin's house for coffee in the morning and then to the airport. We got on a flight 2 hours earlier than the one we booked, called Rita to tell her we would not have to spend the night and made it to KC without any difficulty. The roads were a little bit slick but otherwise no problems.

I did see most of the super bowl, one of the best (or one of the few good) super bowls ever. Unfortunately, I never watch the half times of any football game, but I did hear on the radio of Janet's attempt to take some of the heat off her brother by substituting her own egregious behavior. I'm hoping there will be plenty of replays today.

I am happy to report that I am feeling so much better today. Yesterday I was saying "I'm never drinking again". Today I am thinking, one should never say never. I am glad you made it home safely. Did you see any of the super bowl? Pat would have liked half time.
