Now normally in San Francisco, if you see church ladies in frilly hats, they aren't necessarily ladies. But in this case, they were the real deal. So anyway, I got up off the floor and walked up to one of them and said, "Excuse me, I think you may be in the wrong place." And she said, "No we've been wanting to come to the Lone Star for years." Then I woke up. It was very odd.It's been an uneventful weekend here in Houston. I was thinking about going to Chicago for Bearpride this weekend, but I just couldn't bear the thought of getting on another plane. Plus they were holding it at the Millennium Knickerbocker, not exactly a cheap place. Like $250 a night.
My friend Randy wanted me to come up and he said I could stay at his place. But he lives way out on the north side of Chicago at the border with Evanston. And that means a half hour subway ride down to the loop. So I decided against it.
I found out this guy I used to know is the head of the Chicago bear club now. He was just a kid when I knew him, almost 20 years ago in Toledo. Of course, I was a kid at the time too. Makes me feel my age.
