Wow, gang. What an adventure.

First, let me thank Jim, Sheila and Chris for The Freedom Tour. For most of us this is the only chance we will ever have to meet Jim and spend a little time with him.

Next let me thank those Houston FReepers that were essential to making this work. . . BobbyD, Eaker, TheMom and humblegunner. Couldn't have done it without ya gang!

A very important thank you to Dix and his friend Barbara for allowing us to use her home.

A big hug for Allegra for her call to Jim. . . from Baghdad!

And all of you that provided food and/or supplies and gifts for Jim and his family. . . Philman_36, Xenalyte, Buffyt, pax_et_bonum, HoustonCurmudgeon, eastforker, PetroniDE and my nonFReeper friend Lauren. And many others that brought extra ice, beers, chairs, etc.

Objection! Assumes a fact not in evidence - namely, that Eaker actually knows how to be good.

Actually, it was more like this:

The television playing in the background was the History Channel presentation of movie "THE GREAT ESCAPE".

[Liberal Classic]

Good to meet the faces behind the names, and can't say I've had better barbecue anywhere else. I don't know why I look so mean. I'm a nice guy. :)

[Eaker]

Short aside .........

My Beautiful bride and I will be married 19 years on Tuesday the 15th.

Thank you sweetheart.

[Xenalyte]

Thank you sweetheart.

That's so sweet, I'll refrain from making any of the six or seven smartass comments that came to mind.

Seriesly, congrats. Y'all rock. AND you provide a positive role model for young newlyweds such as Bacon and Hap who need to be pointed in the right direction.

Do you have a photo of Action-'BoogieWoogie'-America dancing?

Sigh. . . no I don't. Maybe you can describe it for us?

[humblegunner]

My Beautiful bride and I will be married 19 years on Tuesday the 15th.

Congrats to you, condolences to Donna.

Seriesly, you guys rock. Y'all are family to me.

[pax_et_bonum]

What a fun assignment!

I've gotta run right now, but I'll think about it while I'm gone (as if I could help thinking about it - it's burned into my memory) and when I return I'll post the most accurate description I can come up with.

Embellishments will be kept to a minimum unless they improve the entertainment quality of the post or Action's reputation.

[Ron H.]

Great Pics Flyer. Thanks for your hard and dedicated work.

( p.s. you can lose that one pic of me, damn that is a bad one of me )

[humblegunner]

Do you have a photo of Action-'BoogieWoogie'-America dancing?

I think this is it:

Yo, that's hip-hop street flava, dog! ;-)

[TheMom]
