June 21, 2023: Too Rich
I don’t only play poker in Vegas; I like the other table games too. Yeah, I’ll throw some money in some slots too, because, you know, when in Rome… but always feel like that’s a waste of money. Of course, … Continued
June 20, 2023: Day One
Day One in Vegas does not usually go well… I think it’s just the excitement, being overanxious, to gamble and eventually lose my money. So many rough stories about the first day/night in Vegas… I can’t even recall them all. … Continued
June 19, 2023: Switching Gears
In case you were wondering, my Draft Kings account is still alive. With my balance sitting at $10, you may think “no big deal”, but just remember, I was at $3 a few weeks ago, so… Dollar here, dollar there… … Continued
June 16, 2023: Wake Fest
Friday marked the 6th, maybe 7th wake I have attended in the last 7-8 months; not good. This time it was a co-worker’s husband; earlier in the week it was a co-worker’s father-in-law. There’s one place that will never go … Continued

June 11, 2023: To The Brink
I’m almost done writing about this year’s NBA and NHL seasons. It’s been an ugly one for our teams; the Bulls and Blackhawks have been done for a while. There was the whole, you know, getting the #1 overall draft … Continued
June 6, 2023: Vegas Stanley
Have you been watching the Stanley Cup Finals? I didn’t catch much of Game 2 on Monday night; probably a good thing. Yeah, I’ve been on the Panthers train in both games; I’m pretty surprised they didn’t at least split … Continued
June 3, 2023: Super System
I think I mentioned a guy from my job brought in the book Super System 2 for me to read… Yeah, it’s pretty good thus far. It’s a huge book. I would have preferred to read the original Super System … Continued
