Construction of The City has begun..or rather destruction of everything that will stand in the way of the construction, except The Boardwalk and The Boardwalk Parking Garage. But the Boardwalk and the Boardwalk Parking Garage are already gone…they just don’t know it yet. To cop a phrase from Michael Craig, when he was in town to speak for our WPBT in December, “I’m staying at the Boardwalk. It has a big red X on it for the wrecking ball.” (Hey, that’s where I picked him up that morning). (more…)

My trusty companion, the big assed truck that hauls my home around, goes into surgery to have the driver side door repaired (’we will repair the door from the core’, so stated the technician that spoke with me), and it only takes five working days. Kee-rist! Everything is removed from the door - and the back door - and they are sanded down and the paint is blended so one will never know that I, Ms. Dumbutt, injured it. The lower hinge may also be replaced as the door is slightly ‘SPRUNG’. I must ask them to check out the roof also (roof courtesy of Caesars), and see how much/what/where it will take to return the Silver Steed to its original state. All in all, I’m renting an economy car during the time the Steed is in for repair and cosmetic surgery. I’m not sure I can drive a little, teensy shit car. This is going to be a toughie. (more…)

Sometimes it’s just too much. Or maybe it’s just me. Over two weeks ago, while I spent my day off hanging out at Wheeler RV, waiting for the motor repair on the jacks on the coach, someone exclaimed, “Wow! The weather’s phenomenal. Summer is here.” (more…)

During my week of play vs. deal, I knew Craig Cunningham was coming into town and we were going to meet, if I could keep my butt in Bellagio’s Poker Room long enough for it to happen. The worst of it is that I was there on Thursday night, playing in a game when he came in…and we missed. (more…)

Kee-rist! I’m sick over it. I’ve tried to be so damn careful with this camera…first of all because it cost me an arm and two legs about three years ago - and second because I take it almost everywhere with me because I love to record my life experiences and look at them over the years…as they actually were, not as I ‘think’ I remember them. I checked into the Sony website to see how much it would cost to repair this little unit…now I’m waiting to hear back from them…and in the meantime, I’m going camera shopping. I absolutely can’t live without one. (more…)

Part of the Saturday night Pan Game (the Saturday night crew that used to gather at my house until I moved into an RV park), made it to Caesars to meet me for the weekly ‘tour and play of Vegas Card Rooms’ - on Saturday, the 11th. Gary and Marie, Wayne, Mark, and me gathered at a $3-6H game; each of us drifted in at various intervals. (more…)
