Part 2 of Mr. Texas Leather 2010

We stayed with great hosts Jeffrey Payne IML2009, his husband, David, Boy Adam and their wonderful kids(doggies) Thanks for letting us stay with you. It was a blast. THANKS
The people at the Eagle made us all feel very welcome and were great. Thanks Dan and all your staff and everyone involved with Mr. Texas Leather 2010.
During the weekend Boy Taz and I finally gave Jeffrey Payne and Lamalani IMSL2009 name signs. It was great and we love the name signs we gave them. We also gave a name sign to Jeffrey's husband David. Jeffrey had also presented his husband with a wonderful leather vest. The international First lade of Leather.
Kevin and John who hosted a get together at their home prior to the contest were great hosts. Thanks Kevin and John for welcoming us.
I really want to go to Texas again. Hugz

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.
