To all my friends that read here, I wish you the very best life has to offer every day of the year, not just on a day designated by humanity to be a day of giving.  Continue reading Merry Christmas World →

I went under the knife…as they say.  Still kicking along out here in the desert, body rest and repair going on, can’t wait to finish painting the exterior of my house but I will wait at least one more week for the 6 week mark after surgery.  And also try to dodge some frisky weather we may be having. Continue reading Five weeks ago today →

I so planned to make it into Vegas this weekend for the blogger gathering – and to play the tournament held at Aria today.  It simply wasn’t going to happen after the last 4 weeks of regrouping after the surgery.  If they had a hammock in a quiet, dark corner for grannies that need a rest, I would have gone…hee hee.  Continue reading Bloggers gathering in Vegas →

It’s a Thursday.  Back in the day I would’ve celebrated (just like I did every day) with a few water glasses full of wine.  Funny how time changes things.  Now I can barely stand the thought of a glass of wine.  Upon occasion when my sis comes over with full wine glass in hand, I think I should be drinking one with her.  Sometimes I do, but not very often.  No desire.

Let’s get the bad news out of the way.  I’m a little over three weeks out from having surgery and the ‘massive hematoma’ is still a massive irritant in my life.  It’s still draining, bright, red blood.  She-ite!  I had an appointment last week with my surgeon.  He’s convinced that my body will heal itself.  I am convincing myself of the same thing because I couldn’t stand to go in and have another surgery right now…at least not for a year or so.  FK! Continue reading Three weeks out →

That’s an old saying in poker but it rings true to most events that happen in our daily lives.  Let’s talk the medical marijuana revolution that’s going on in Nevada as the rules are changing and grow/dispensaries are going to become legal for in state and out of state buyers that have a medical marijuana card. Continue reading Them that has the gold makes the rules →

Wishing everyone a day filled with great company and the sharing of food and laughter.  I didn’t kill a turkey but I am going to take a big bite of one later today at my sis’s place.  The food will be superb and those that come to join in are all friendly.  May the same be at your table today.

I’m headed to Las Vegas in the next few hours to do a follow-up with my surgeon after going back to the hospital for a coupla days.  That may not make sense.  I was actually scheduled for a 3-month checkup after having my pal Foley removed almost two weeks ago. But when I checked into ER and an abdominal hematoma was discovered, I spent 2 days in the hospital undergoing more tests, blah, blah, blah. This follow-up is a follow-up to that.

After being almost completely out of the loop for some time (close to 3 weeks), I started reading some catch-up news. Frankly, there are two things that really caught my eye or — boggle my mind. Continue reading Looking over the poker world →

I started this a number of days ago.  I came back 4 times.  I’m not having a very good time still but want to finish this post so I can get on to the next step in life.
