Thanks Richard,

Mike, you need to live in Mesquite, Texas!!  Or cow town/Ft. Worth, Texas.      Tom

You're right Tom. I hear there is a little restaurant there in Fort Worth named the " Lonesome Dove" . That should be just about right for me. I spent some time in San Antonio 35 years ago. Folks were pretty nice. And the river walk was great. Probably changed a little since then.

Mike,

I was also there in 1957 at  San Antonio, then on to Hondo, TX.

That was a long time ago.

Bill,
    Funny, I don't feel any older. But the face I see in the mirror isn't the same face I saw 35 years ago. I think I've been switched when I was sleeping with an older version of myself. Must be something to do with either the Guvmint or my wife. One of the two of them are behind almost everything.

Mike the couple that own Lonesome Dove had a TV show on the food channel last week. They traveled from Ft. Worth to LA doing great dinners at towns in between. San Antonio is much the same only bigger.  Tom

Mike:

Take comfort in the assurance that San Antonio's River Walk is still much the same as it was when you last saw it.  I was there last year.  It was as vibrant and alive as I had recalled it to be when I first experienced it as a much younger man in 1983.

I've been thinking a lot lately about taking my wife on a Texas trip to get chili, tacos, and steaks.

As soon as I get rich, we will go, armed with a list of the most favored restaurants.

When you and your wife come to Texas, start in Dallas and we will start y'all right. And, it does not take a lot of money. Tom

Richard,
     I feel much better knowing that there are somethings that stay pretty much the same. Tom, I'd like to go to that restaurant. My wife told me about it, knowing that I was a big fan of the Show. She may have seen it on the TV show you're talking about as she is always watching that channel and is always coming up with new recipes to try. Not that I'm complaining. But all of my pants are shrinking.....! Must be a new detergent!

y'all come!!!!Tom

And when you get to San Antonio's River Walk, be sure to plan to spend the better part of an evening at "Dirty Dick's." (His motto is, "You can't kill a man who was born to hang!")

I hasten to add that "Dick" and I are not related.

Richard,
     Glad to hear that there is no relation. You had me a little worried for a moment!

Richard,
