Twenty two years ago, Holly and I were on our way to San Francisco because our daughter’s birth mother had gone into labor.

We had a few hours layover in Las Vegas, so we took a taxi to the Luxor to get something to eat. We called our hotel and found out that Maddee had been born.

We went into a bar to see if we could get glasses of champagne to celebrate, but they didn’t serve champagne by the glass. You had to buy a whole bottle.

So we were standing at a crowded bar, and the tv was on.

You know when you’re in a loud place, and you say something loud to the person next to you, but right at that second the whole place falls silent and everyone can hear you?

Bob Dole was a guest on Crossfire. Their logo was CROSSFIRE in squares, and to me it looked like Wheel Of Fortune.

So in that conversation lull, l said, in a loud voice Bob Dole wants to buy a vowel!. I even had my had up like I was holding a pen.

Maybe you had to be there, but it still makes me laugh.
