While discussing a cocky, big mouth mutual friend a while back, a good buddy (who is soft spoken yet tough as nails cop) said to me:
"The toughest guy in the bar doesn't need to brag about it. Everyone just knows to stay out of his way.
The best looking guy in the bar doesn't need to brag about it. The girls just come to him.
The smartest guy in the bar doesn't need to brag about it. He just holds a conversation and people realize."

If only I could achieve the status of any of those three guys I'd be happy...

Rodney, sounds like a great plan.

Thanks Tim. It's amazing what a one way ticket costs these days though!

Amtrak station in the Dells if that is cheaper. About a mile away from the campground.

Price is indeed better but with three transfer's it's a 30 hour train ride... Southwest it is... $200 a ticket for one way. 2 hour 20 minute nonstop flight.

Well that finally clears up a few things for me. I had always wondered why when I enter a bar, the crowds of burly guys clear a path, and I soon find myself surrounded by gorgeous women who all happen to be Mensa, asking me questions about the meaning of life.

I do actually but unfortunately my daughter gets me up between 6-7 each morning and those dreams drift into the distance and the real world arrives. As my old man said EVERY morning when he drew the shades in my parents bedroom..."Good morning cruel world!"

Just picked up a kitten at the shelter tonight. By the looks of things it is going to be a wild holiday... If I can keep the devil out of the Christmas tree and curtains, I'll be a happy guy....
