Ok. I am going to list my runs. Saturday I will lead a "Spirited Tourist Group" (Speed limit with a little fun but not crazy) to Tallulah Gorge and Falls. Lunch TBD. Sunday I am leading a full day tour to Clingmans Dome, Great Smokey Mountains National Park with Lunch at Applewoods Farm in Seviervillle , TN ( Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant ) Then a fun run via some back roads along a river to Foot Hills Parkway, The Tail Of the Dragon with Dinner at Tapoco Lodge. Crystal stick with me kiddo and we will have fun!
BTW, "Spirited Tourist" is where for the most part we do the speed limit (or close to it) with some fun burst of blowing out the carbon...

I have never been on Michael's runs, but I have only heard amazing things about them.

As far as being alone in a crowded room, that's on you. Sometime you have to make the effort, otherwise you appear to be the one thats stuck up and doesn't want to socialize. The dragon is an incredible event with some of the best people in the world attending. If you don't walk away making a few friends then, You did something wrong"
Agreed. Let your hair down, let your guard down, soak it all in and enjoy.


The Dragon meet ain't high school with cliques and jocks and judgments. And it ain't the yatch club either. Open up and be yourself, pretentions don't work with honest friendly people who see each other little more than once a year. Just have a good time.

By the end of the weekend, I plan to have the spreadsheet done and will add "class" (tourist/spirited/pants on fire) fields to it as well.

I have also decided to publish it here and on Facebook.

Find me and hang around me and I'll do my best to see that you enjoy yourself with my many fiends there
FB friends already so that's a start
Michael is also my friend and a good choice by you to sort of lead the way for you too

REMINDER : Check your tire pressures before heading out for the Dragon

You needn't worry about feeling uneasy when surrounded by a large group of people. Happens to a lot of folks. But you've taken a major step in overcoming that feeling with your invite for Gumbo on Thursday night. You're going to meet a lot of folks you never knew before and do this in a very informal setting by feeding them. Works every time. And this will all be behind you before the remainder of the weekend crowd even gets to Fontana Village. You & your husband are sort of celebrities, as far as I am concerned. It's not every day that you get to meet someone that owns 7 Crossfires!! You might have more friends that you want!!

You'll have a great weekend.

Why is the sky blue when air has no color?

If there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but no one has ever found the end of a rainbow, how do we KNOW there is a pot of gold there?

Why are you not allowed to kiss hookers?

Ahhhh! Grasshopper, first you must climb the 10,000 steps of misery to the top of Mount Fuji, then you must ****** the pebble from the anus of the Ancient One and when you have accomplished this then you may ask your questions of the Ancient One assuming he still feels like answering them after having his prostate examined 😗.


Or you could just Google it 😉!!
