Did you know that at one time Keel Radio had a basket ball team named the Dirty Dribblers? The Dirty Dribblers played in just about every gym within 100 miles of Shreveport. One year in the seventies the Dirty Dribblers  played 106 basketball games. There was hardly a school anywhere that didn't request that the Dirty Dribblers come around and play a game, and Keel did it all for charity.

Well it didn't, and I didn't, but it was still a real entertaining movie!

The vacation was great! Lots of eating, napping, more eating and talking about old times. But mostly eating! Then, suddenly, the night before we leave Minneapolis I sat straight up in bed and said: "Where are the car keys?"
