Pretty good today.... the cough continues to get better, though it still seems to get worse as the day wears on. Had a chance to get out and take the truck over to have the oil changed. It being Friday though, it took nearly 3 hours to get it done. But I took some time to get some lunch, walk over to AAA and get a couple of maps, and read a couple of magazines before picking it up again.

   Headed back to the room after that and tried to relax a bit before the dance started. Really wanted to go dance tonight, but was still coughing enough that it seemed better to let tonight go and try to dance tomorrow instead. Went over to the dance later this evening anyway just to collect my button, check in and get a weekend schedule. Spent a couple of hours sitting up in the stands listening to the music and watching all the dancers twirling down below. Really quite nice actually, and even better when some one I knew would drop by and sit with me for a little while. Lots of good friends here this weekend. Several from the St Louis area, a Texan, a couple Floridians and a Georgian or two, among others!

    Spent a couple hours at the dance and am now back at the room again. Hope to feel even better by the morning, I really hate missing out on all of the fun.
