World Bunco Championships

For the last few weeks I have had a free preview of the Oxygen channel.

According to Wikipedia the Oxygen network is a cable television network started by successful enterpenuer Oprah Winfrey, oriented on what are ostensibly women's topics, like romance, family, style/fashion, women's health issues, shopping, and entertainment.

Last night I came across the World Bunco Championship on Oxygen. One thousand women from all over the USA (mostly overage and overweight) came together to play bunco. Even with the themed dress night, the program was actually boring to watch. I consider myself to be a big fan of bunco (and I play in two groups) however...after 10 minutes of the championship...I was bored. The real fun of bunco is the table talk during the game.

But for those of you who are also bunco fans, you may want to try for the next Championship in Las Vegas.

Prilosec OTC is the title sponsor of the event. I'm not sure what heartburn and bunco have to do with each other...well I guess all bunco snacks could create heartburn.

My Arch Team

St. Louis Arch 2

St. Louis Arch

St. Louis...here we come

Senator Kit Bond, MO became a Freedom Fighter for SWA as he (and Congress) loosened the restrictions on the Wright Amendment allowing us Dallas based travelers to now fly non-stop to MO from Dallas Love Field. Southwest has been seeking repeal of the Wright Amendment since November of 2004. The benefits to us Dallas travelers are now $49 airfares between Kansas City, St. Louis and Dallas.

Our office was so excited we took a trip to see what St. Louis was all about. For those who haven't been...St. Louis has much more than just the arch. Most of the museums, galleries and the zoo are free of charge. Now with a $49 airfare and free attractions...a good weekend getaway can't get much cheaper.

Here are some pics of the arch. For those you haven't been, you get in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory style carrier and travel up. As I've said...I promote traveling and St. Louis should be on your list.

Bunco World Championship

So I've watched a few programs but not enough to buy outside our Dish 100+ package.

However last night I came across the World Bunco Championship. The program is actually boring to watch, as the fun of bunco is the table talk during the game. For those of you who are also bunco fans, you may want to try for the next Championship in Las Vegas.
