Yikes! Robert you must have been the only one to read my story. Perhaps I
should have mentioned the cross dressing strip bar on Bourbon Street I had
the misfortune to enter.
Well, it was actually 1992, not 2002. I am in a little bit of denial here.
My second grey hair has just made a spring appearance. The first one
involved the Bourbon Street incident . . .
