Rockin' the Fort Worth Downtown…I Love It Here



So...

I’ve spent the latter part of this week at the Harts DUG Permian Basin conference in downtown Fort Worth.

Do y’all know how much I love Fort Worth?

I’ve had dinner with some major executives...my company hosts a speaker dinner, which was a lot of fun.  An intimate venue, at Del Frisco’s, and I was blessed to be invited.

The next morning, the real conference commenced.  I saw tons of customers, and our lunchtime speaker was retired General Colin Powell.  He gave an interesting talk, and proved he knows virtually nothing about the energy business.   He was treated superbly by our industry representation at that conference, and I think there were 2200+ people there.  I am proud of our industry, and the people in it.  They laid down their political beliefs for one hour, and honored a man who had served our country, and did it well.

I’m proud of anyone who fights alongside, and leads our troops, in defending this country and the people who call America home.  

I met so many people, saw so many friends, and even got to hang out a little with Elder Son and his Cowdog/Hunting Dog (if that sounds funny, it is - it’s a trick Elder son has taught the pup) tonight.  And that, people, made my year.

On Easter Sunday, our adopted daughter and her mommy brought our baby goddaughter Ada to see us.  We had so much fun loving on them and hanging out with a ton of our friends for Easter.

Sweet Goddaughter!
ThatManILove and I have been busy campers this week.

Such is Mi Vida Loca, eh?

It’s never boring around here!

Hope y’all are all doing well.

Laundry Dancin'...

We arrived at the hotel yesterday.  ThatManILove had some things to work on, so I went to the hotel laundry.  To do laundry.  For ThatManILove.

People, it is HOT in the hotel laundry.  It’s tucked into a little cranny on the 4th floor.

I had my iPhone.  I had my iPad.  I had my Spark.  

And I had laundry.

So, I got busy.  I put the laundry in the washer, then transferred it to the dryer upon completion.  I didn’t want to hold anyone up.

People were coming in and out of the laundry, getting their stuff done.

Finally, one guy said, “Are you just going to sit here and wait on your laundry?”

I looked at him, and nodded yes.  I guess that’s not the norm in a hotel laundry. He looked at me like I was an idiot.

He would have really looked at me funny had he caught me dancing and singing about 15 minutes later.

Oh, heck.

I just thought about something.

Do hotel laundries have security cameras?

I’ll probably turn up on youtube.  Under the title, "Fat Over The Hill Lady Dances (she thinks) to Eagles "Get Over It" in Doubletree Laundry…FAIL."

Or, I could look like this girl…I freakin' wish.
