A Nice Break

I'm done with radiation and I have a break from chemo, so we decided to take a mini-vacation. We just got back from four glorious days in Ruidoso, NM. The high temperature was around 78 degrees and it was down to the 50's at night, a welcome relief from the 100's we have everyday in Austin. We stayed at The Inn of the Mountain Gods. When I saw this sign I thought "What a conundrum - do you play golf or go to the casino?". I quickly realized the answer is easy. Play golf. After all, you can't play golf in a casino, but you sure can gamble on the golf course.

One day we played miniature golf and ran into the Dalai Lama. Big hitter the Lama - long. I asked if he had any tips and he said that there would be no tips, but that on my deathbed I would receive total consciousness. So I got that going for me, which is nice...

  1. Did they have a pool or a pond there?

  2. Ya know, come to think... James didn't get in the pool or mega hot tub.(major chlorine)They let us in the lake in the paddleboat. We both enjoyed the giant bathtub with jets and 15" plasma tv in our bathroom! We got kicked out of the Ruidoso Downs paid stands, so we can be pretty proud of that.
