True story confession for the New Year. Here in Seattle back in the 80’s we could hop an airplane Saturday morning at 8:00 AM down to Nevada gamble all day and fly back to Seattle at 4:00 PM for $45.00. So Steve, Kim, my sister and I went. So on the way down the stewardess had us playing gambling games like pulling names out of a hat. 5 dollars to get in and some lady won both jackpots and won around 500.00 before we even landed. Finally we landed and hit the casino. Steve hit it hard. I was going to get my first beer and had seen Steve sitting over pouting at this dining table. Went over and talked with him and he had already lost 200 dollars. This was in the first half hour. I loaned him 50 dollars and I disappeared. So the day went on and it was time to leave. We all boarded the plane and Steve paid back the money I loaned him. He did ok. We had just got up to the point where we could remove our seat belts. All of a sudden I felt like I was going to throw up. I didn’t drink that much only about 15 to 20 beers so it must have been the altitude. My first thought was that if I was going to blow chunks it was going to be in first class. So I got up and headed to the front of the plane. About halfway there I started to pass out. I estimated the step to the bathroom closed my eyes and kept moving. I put my hand on the door handle, opened it, stepped in and closed the door. I thought to myself wow I cant believe I made it and folded my arms across my forehead and lead against the door. Needless to say I had not closed the door all the way and I proceeded to spill out on to the isle. I remember a man asking if I was ok. I said yes and he helped me up and I set on the toilet. With the door opened and was talking with the stewardesses. I had told them that I had not had that much to drink that I must have altitude sickness and that I hope my pants were still on. Needless to say I could not make it back to my seat so they landed the plane with me still in the bathroom and with all the commotion going on I forgot to puke. Ah those were the days.
