No.

But if I'm lucky I'll get to meet you someday while I'm out there doing. I get to meet so many great people, and then I get to write them. It's fun, and I never forget how lucky I am.

Heck, maybe I'll get to write about you and your crew someday.

Glad you made it out to Destin and your both always welcome to ride along.

When hitch as many free rides as I do, you damn well better learn to be a good Boat B!

Thanks, Dan, for all. See you in Key West.

Matt, your article brings up a point we discussed while we were in Destin. Stu could certainly learn a few things from the way Skipper ran this event.

I totally agree, and might be able to put a finger on why. A good Poker Run depends on organization - and lots of it. A good part of that organization comes from a schedule. That's what allows a good run to go so seamlessley.

But that organization also has a downside. Participants need to follow the schedule. If they don't, things get screwed up.

On an event like the one Matt described, the order of the day is just sitting back - with little or no schedule - and having a good time with friends. There's a lot to be said for just doing that! I think there's a good place for both.

Matt..pencil us in over here at Lake Travis just outside Austin, or LOTO over July 4th weekend. We'd make a solid case study. I2D

Sounds good, and with any luck I won't make as many word omissions as I did in my comment above.
