THE DAY BEGAN WITH A TRIP BACK IN TIME TO 1836 JUST BY CROSSING THE STREET... THE FACT THAT THE ALAMO SHRINE IS IN THE HEART OF THE CITY FLIPS ME OUT...

GOT MYSELF READY (I LIKE TO THINK I CLEAN UP NICE) AND MET THE LADIES AT THE RESTAURANT IN THE WESTIN RIVERFRONT HOTEL... HAD A FABULOUS MEAL (THEY PAID-- OVER MY OBJECTIONS--BONUS!) ONE OF THE WOMEN BEGGED OFF A WALK ALONG THE RIVER (HAD TO PACK--THOUGHT IT WAS A SET-UP) SO I HAD A LITTLE ALONE TIME... WENT FOR A NICE LEISURELY WALK ALONG THE RIVER (TRES ROMANTIC!) I WALKED HER BACK TO HER ROOM AND SHE PLANTED A LIPLOCK ON ME THAT THREW ME FOR A LOOP! OF COURSE, I RETURNED THE KISS... AND THEN...
