My energy level is shot. No poker news on the table from this kid’s side. It’s a horribly windy Tuesday afternoon in Vegas and the sky is spitting rain just for desert. I did hit the poker room last night, it was running about half full, waltzed into the office to see who was the shift manager for the night, to be greeted by Pete asking me if I wanted to take the night off. Yup! Done deal. I emphatically exclaimed, “YES! Thanks Pete.”
I was going to just exit out of the poker room, without looking around, when I spotted Poker Pete in an Omaha game. As I walked by to say hello to Pete, I spotted Mark and Jason in the same game. The perfect opportunity to pull up a chair and visit with both of them as they were in the 3 & 4s – and they come into town together – and play hard against each other. Of course the conversation immediately went to Andy Beal vs. Phil Ivey…note how it’s not talked about as ‘vs. the Corporation’, it was specifically Phil Ivey. Jason informed me that Andy was never playing again. I offered to bet him that he was wrong. He took it. We put a big $10 wager on the line and shook on it. Anyone else?
On the ‘full timing’ side of life. The RV Park I’m in is being forced to move some of us out of our spaces. Nevada Power is changing the power line through the park and we have spaces available at the same park, we just have to move. I’ve been kicking around the thought of a ‘maiden voyage’ for the coach and have decided this Friday will be the day. I have to unhook everything and hitch up anyway – so I’m heading for CA to visit my oldest son, Dan. I’ll be there Friday and Saturday and head back early on Sunday – to my new space. Hellerly exciting in a way, nerve wracking in another way. I’ll make sure I have plenty of wine stocked in the coach so when I settle in on Friday night, I can d-r-i-n-k. *chuckling*
I may even make it to a CA card room – Dan can take me for an outing – and it will be a first for me. Never been there, haven’t seen it, haven’t done it!
But the Bellagio Time Clock is rapidly approaching for the day and I’m going in…maybe I forgot how to deal. And being too lazy to think doesn’t help a damn thing.
