Holiday weekends bring in huge crowds, especially to the poker room and Friday was right up there with all the noise and confusion that goes along with the tidal wave of humanity flooding in to take a seat and get on a list. There was a game in Bobby’s Room, perhaps two, but I didn’t even look in that direction since I wasn’t going to be dealing in there. Continue reading Holiday weekends →

I settled into the ‘dealer’s zone’ and waited for the line-up to come out…Table 22. Ugh! A dead spread. Sounds hideous doesn’t it…like you’re spreading dead on a piece of white, anemic bread, mixing it with other dead things like meat, stuffing it together into a sandwich…and you’re going to like it! What kind of bottle or packaging would it come in? Who would make it? Alright – my imagination is done running away with me and I’m back to reality.

I have the grumble bug with Wal-Mart right now. You can buy anything in the store 24/7. But you can only return certain items when it’s convenient for them. I purchased a relatively expensive Sony digital video/still camera at 3 a.m. After a few days of trying it out, I really didn’t care for the digital stills and felt the video wasn’t as wonderful as it should be – although Jim and Wayne and Marie, you showed up pretty damn well with voice. I tried to return it at 1 AM on my way home from work. Continue reading Walmart Sucks and so does Camping World! →
