Randum Road Ramblings (R3)


Smoking for your health: I was driving to work the other day. On the way I past a metro park. Standing outside of his car was a jogger...smoking.

Eating at the Poker table: Went up to Salamanca, NY with FLOTUS, Doyle, Mrs. Brunson, and others. I spent 9 hours playing cards. Not once did I think about eating, but the big guy from Happy Valley couldn't get enough to eat. In fact, he placed an order for an Italian sub, which was delivered to him at the table... And he proceeded to eat it right there! Dressing running out on his red football jersey (his wife had on a matching one too), cheese on his goatee, and shredded lettuce sitting on the shelf that was his beer gut. If he wasn't parting with so much of his money, the whole table would have objected.

Seats on a Plane: Flew into our Nation's Capital. The plane was half empty (at $800/seat, I wonder why?) with most folks on in the first 6 rows. They moved 4 people to empty seats in the back of the plane. I've heard of weighing passengers and bags on a Cessna hop to Put-in-Bay, but not on a 50 passenger jet.

President’s Club: Flying to Houston and on to Las Vegas for a conference. Spent some time in one of my favorite spots, the Continental Airlines President’s Club. You can’t beat free wi-fi, free chips, free cheese and crackers and of course the free beverages…if you know what I mean, and I know you do. So I was enjoying all the freebies with my colleagues when I went up to the bar for another…free drink. That’s when it hit me…some guy’s BO. It was sooo bad I was forced to breathe through my mouth and blow out through my nose. It didn’t help. That’s when I came to this conclusion: Boy am I glad I’m not flying with that guy!

WSOP: The World Series of Poker is going on in Vegas. The WSOP is much more than just the $10,000 buy-in, main event you see on The Deuce. There are 54 events! Me and GOTSOO will be swinging by, after our conference meetings of course, to check out the action. G reports that he’s already seen Jennifer Tilly, a big poker player, walking around the Bellagio.
