The entire post is an expression of frustration of not being able to attend and enjoy the camaraderie and friendship that I look forward to. I even stated that the very motivation for doing the physical therapy is the desire to go. But for many of us, going to the convention is more than cruising across town. I do hate the Riviera. The Riv is not the convention. I think the convention is great and have stated in glowing terms my reasons a number of times. It just dawned on me, did you bother to read who I am?
There are lots of folks who aren't fans of the Riv, but if you like it so much, then defend it to your hearts delight, but don't confuse my dissatisfaction with the Riv, with anything to do with the club.
