SCAA
is on its way!

The Caffeine Cowboy arrives to the SCAA press room
in the guise of mild mannered reporter from Texas, J.B. Blocker of the
NorthTexasReporter.com. He is unusually mild-mannered because he can barely
see!
You see, the Cowboy, through no fault of his own, has
lost his glasses from the night before, so he can’t read a sign 30 ft. away! His
walk this morning from hotel to the convention center had been anxiously reviewing where he
would find those trifocallized binoculars he had steadily learned to rely on.
It happened the previous night somewhere between a great
seafood and beer feast at the Athena, the stroll from the Market to the hotel,
a scotch at the hotel bar, and the room. You know I’m talking about myself
right?
The next morning I am close to crazy searching my room
and occasionally looking in the mirror to see if I'm wearing them before I realize they are somewhere
between yesterday evening and late yesterday evening!
The walk to the convention
was therefore it's own adventure. I at least asked directions a half dozen times to keep
from walking in circles! By the time the lady told me I was standing across the
street from the convention center, I was ready for coffee straight up and I head straight to the Press Office. They are bound to
have coffee and pastries!
