Then in New Mexico we often went to Espanola and to Big Rock, I think was the name. Bowling was on same level, over on one side. We'd bowl then play slots.Lots of fun on our days off.

Years ago when I complimented Aaron Elkins on winning th Edgar and how exciting it was.

So far, this Monday morning, there's been laundry and dentistry (getting a new crown), and this week holds the exciting prospects of more laundry, doctor's appointments and an oil change! Wow!

The Showboat had a fantastic bowling alley on the second floor. I wonder what they'll do with all the casinos that have closed.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239163766419735693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-69126694758904473272014-10-20T07:36:48.203-04:002014-10-20T07:36:48.203-04:00Jan, it's nice to see I'm not alone when i...Jan, it's nice to see I'm not alone when it comes to being buried by daily minutia while trying to write.

For all the under-sixty readers, I'd like to give some advice that Jan and I seem to agree on:<br /><br />Dance while you can<br />Take walks in the moonlight<br />Holding somebody's hand<br />Dream some big dreams<br />And make them come true<br />So you can still dance<br />When you're past sixty-two<br /><br />Fran Rizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655783035179620991noreply@blogger.com
