MR. Texas Leather 2010

I went to Dallas Texas January 28 to February 1st 2010. First let's say Congratulations to Jack Duke who won Mr. Texas Leather 2010. During my flight down to Texas things were going great until... there was a child about maybe 2 years old in front of me who was crying and screaming during take off. She wanted to stand and not be strapped in or sit on her mother's lap. I thought to myself, Thank god I am deaf. Well maybe I thought/spoke too soon as about 5 minutes later the child behind me who was about 3 or 4 years old started kicking my seat.
We had a bit of a bumpy flight as I guess there was a storm while we were in the air and almost ready to land. Once I was greeted by Lowell and Robert who picked me up things were much better. My only frustration was with my hearing aid even with a new battery it did not work for a while. It made it hard for me to read lips without my hearing aid. After a few hours hearing finally worked again. I was able to read lips and communicate much better. Later that night Court, my partner arrived and others arrived. The host and his husband arrived. It was so great to see so many people again.
I will write more about this trip when I get back from Baltimore for BLADeaf (Baltimore leather Association of the Deaf /GLADE.(Gay Lesbian association of deaf of the East) I will be driving to Connecticut today to stay with my aunt and then tomorrow drive to Baltimore. I sure hope the roads and all are fine by then.
