A last minute drive to Iowa

Published on 2012-01-27 23:23:00

I received an email a couple of days ago from one of my fellow Bourbonators that he was heading to Diamond Jo's Casino in north Iowa. OhPrincess2 has been sick the last couple of days with a nasty stomach bug and OhPrincess1 got some really big news today, so I really doubted I'd get a hall pass. Well, hall pass I received. Probably shoulda stayed home. I'm so rusty at casino cash games. Not a single blogger at my table to keep my champagne wishes and caviar dreams alive. I won the first hand I

I have a few blogs. Not the worlds largest following, but I know there are still people who stop by here now and then. I'd like you to consider helping me out. Here's a link to my cousin's fundraising page. She's running a marathon. My cousin has been inspiring me for a few years now. The death of her mother, my aunt, from cancer, inspired her to take up running. Read the story. Please consider giving. Thanks!

If you go to the WPBT winter gathering and don't at least one new thing, you ain't doin' it right. This photo on the left, U.S. District Court building for the District of Nevada. While I don't think I'd recommend this as top destination when traveling to Las Vegas, I would recommend going there for the reason I did. Let's roll back the clock to the night before. I pretty much spent the night drinking beer. A +1 in my book. To top that off, I played CRAPS! Huh? It's true, until that night, I

Take a deep breath. Hold it. Now let it out very slowly. Ah... Ya, getting me to this point has taken a lot longer than I had hoped. I miss the carefree days of online poker and kids going to bed earlier. For those of you with infants that think they take a lot of time...you ain't seen nothing yet. As it happens, I went to Las Vegas, Nevada the first weekend in December. What happens in Vegas, stays...on the Internet...forever!!! Muwahahah No. Really. It does. Be careful what you say on her

Happy New Year!!

I should ripping off the business formal duds any minute and start my journey to the Winter Gathering in Las Vegas. Yipppeeeee!!! This is my 4th Winter Gathering, and I have to say, I'm just as excited as I was for any of them. I can't wait to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. My plans, well, the only set things I have right now are the drinks tonight at Excalibur tour of the Neon Museum at 2 PM on Friday and the tournament on Saturday. Other than that, here are my goals:

The Winter Gathering for 2011 is Thursday! I did figure I need to update here before heading out. I know, it's a smidge late, but as Kat once told me, as long as I get the post up before the next blogger gathering, it's all good. One thing this might do, is fuel the fire for another trip to the desert. Vegas for me has always been a rather surreal place. The flashy wealth, the poor, the homeless, the clicker people, the tourist, the casino employees, all walking the streets, each with their own

Happy Halloween!
