BOB ALEXANDER IS ALIVE AND COOKING

....as Mark Twain may have said, "Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated", or something like that. I have been besieged with calls inquiring about the time and place of the funeral. The wails and weepings of old girls friends left along the chili trail fill the night time skies.
.
I suppose there could be two Bob Alexander chiliheads, but we have not met. My condolences to his family. But I, my beautiful wife Penny, our six children and ten grandchildren are all doing well. And I will make my next supernatural appearance on 9 September at the Mid-America Regional in Claremore, Oklahoma. I invite all those grieving souls out there to come by for the viewing!! Cash contributions to the Baja Red Memorial Drinking Fund will be accepted at that time. Or a cold Tequila Sunrise at around 0900 that morning would help!
.
See you in Omaha!!
