Lots going on this weekend. Getting ready for the WSOP and can’t wait. When I first started watching poker and I saw people on tv saying they couldn’t wait for the World Series every year, they never schedule vacations during that time, etc. I thought to myself then “Geez, those people need a life.” A few years later I am now one of those very same people “can’t wait for the world series and I’m not scheduling a thing during this time!”. What a difference a few years makes.
Early morning plane to San Diego for blood work for Lincoln then he and I returned to Las Vegas. I’m exhausted and at this rate by the time the WSOP starts I will be ready for nothing more than a nap. Ha. Told Lincoln he needed to change the batteries in the remote control to make it work right. He came in and said “I changed the batteries but it still doesn’t work.”. I say “hmmm maybe the batteries aren’t in there right.” he says “yep I know they’re right cuz flat goes to the bungee.”. I have to laugh and open the back. Sure enough the flat side of the battery does in fact go towards the spring – or in Lincoln’s world the bungee.
It was a usual weekend of cheerleader and play dates. It is starting to get warm in Las Vegas but it has yet to warm the pool. Got back to Pilates with my dear next door neighbor and it feels rough. It’s like I never did it, the old a gage of use it or lose it. Am at the airport to take Lincoln to San Diego to get some blood work Don and the doctor want done, then Lincoln a d I return and Don on the road for work. Down to the countdown for the World Series of Poker …. can’t wait!
Took off for Florida on Sunday morning early and I do mean early. Got there, rented a car and drove almost two hours, dinner with the group, then began to fade about 10 pm. Started way too early Monday morning but meetings after that went well. Then back to the airport and a 6 am flight this morning. To say I am a little road weary is an understatement. Trying to get all my business interests taken care of before the WSOP so I can focus on poker. Can’t wait.
Got to go to school with the gators today and have Muffins for Moms. Took a picture. Photographer said “separate or together?” and I let the kids decide. They wanted a picture of the three of us together so that is what we did. Special times. Lincoln can’t wait for school to be out and Sierra is already sad. So different.
There’s so much going on it’s hard to figure out where to start. Yesterday did an on camera interview with a sharp young man Dedicated to getting people involved in the political process. As I’ve spent the better part of the last three decades to this very cause there was lots of common ground. Enjoyed the time. He has interest in poker so we met at the Venetian. As he outlasted me not sure I helped him much. I had one of those stupid tables you find in small buy in tournaments where the goobers are trying to out drink and out scream each other …. but great training for the WSOP.
