I’ve used up four of my five days of peace and quiet away from the land where poker chips rain from the sky and time is held in an eternal deck of cards being shuffled and dealt to images that may disappear but never leave. I have one more day…

Tomorrow it’s time to take my sis back to the airport for her return to MT…which BTW the weather forecast is somewhere around 13 below for her return home. She might just decide to stay here until spring. We didn’t do a lot of anything or much of nothing. It was fun! I’ll see if I can talk her into another trip soon. Maybe in March when I plan on having a Poker Clan BBQ and home poker game at my place.

On a note from last week at work – Ron R. returned to visit. He brought me a bottle of wine and a great, warm smile. He brought his dad too. Introduced him to me as Mean Gene…NOT EVEN. Gene looked way to friendly to be mean about anything. Ron was almost instantly in a $2-5 Blind NLH game. I got an E/O and escaped early but before I left the room, I dragged a promise out of Ron that he would write a trip report. So-o-o-o-

The room was just as busy last week as it had been during the holidays. I’m wondering if this week will show any slacking off or if it will still be a huge whirwind of noise, body heat, and chip clatter. I’m betting on the latter.

See you there on Thursday!
