I hate this part of life. I’ve known Sheiky a lot of years, he’s a friend of my kids (all three of them), and we’ve shared a lot of table time since I first met him at the Mirage years ago. Today I found out that he’s in trouble and it’s not pretty. He may be deported. There’s an article in the LVRJ. Continue reading Totally Disturbing →

I’m not sure with what. It’s been a strange few days. I did make it to Suzie’s fake Birthday party. She just wanted to have a party. That was a good time except for NOISE! It was a rock band, the place was small, perhaps it’s the ‘baby boomer’ ear thing, but it was brutal. Pictures coming on that. Continue reading I’m on a roll →

Lately I’ve been kicking around the word and world of EXPECTATION and believe it or not, everything we do fits right into that little orb of insanity. Everything we do is based on expectation. I’ve gleaned valuable insight into relationships and expectation just from my own adventures and experiencing my sons’ life situations; include a multitude of friends and relatives also.

The best of all worlds, I’m hanging out at the old homestead (my oldhouse where my sons now live), and little miss, 12 day old, cutie pie is asleep on the couch right next to me, the only glitch is I missed the damned free roll on Duplicate Poker to the PokerNews Cup by 17 minutes. KEE-RIST! Continue reading Sunday’s plan going as planned →

Tonight I’m going to meet Ryan and Tami for a buffet and for dessert we’re diving into live poker. I hope we find a tournament with a small buy-in, if not, I’ll play limit or small blind NLH with them. Here’s hoping we win. I don’t need to hope that we will have a good time in each other’s company, we will. The best parts of life are topped off with a cup of good friendship. *glasses clink*

Dan and I started out with a plan this a.m. It semi worked. Las Vegas is overtaking the desert and all of my old favorite haunts for 4X off road and some hiking spots, are disappearing as fast as the sun sets on the horizon. It’s sickening – and scary. Where will it all end? And what will happen to that piece of red sandstone that I used to climb around over and down after I 4X’d up about five miles? Continue reading 4X – Little Red Rock →

I have a list of things running through my head. It’s a list composed by me and I plan to lay it out. Continue reading The Quiz →

Those two girls came through like true champions yesterday. Mom did her part superbly and baby Katelyn celebrated her day of birth, debuting in at 6 pounds 6 ounces, 19 inches long, and upheld the world standard that babies are the coolest things on Earth. Continue reading Mom’s fine, Baby’s finer →
