Table Tango

It’s night time in Vegas for those that live the daylight world, it’s my evening and time to do things I enjoy.  Like, I signed the E/O-play list when I hit the room tonight.  It was my Tuesday, the big tournament event is winding down, the Fontana Lounge was moving into the end of another mass of people, poker, and tournament tales.  I did deal one down and that table broke as the tables were combined - actually I dealt one hand, a player went bust, time to combine.

I used to believe that weekends were for resting up and recharging, breathing space and peace and quiet, readying us for the Monday grind; now I believe they are just a horrific whirlwind of events and things that never slow down and catapult us head first into the work week - no helmet.  (more…)

Since I’ve been such a slacker, there are a lot of things that I could put down here.  Some of them aren’t worth mentioning, some are funny, some are not so damn funny. (more…)

There are lots of things to write about but I’m not with the program right now.  I hope to be back in full fledged blogging mode over the weekend.  Yesterday early a.m. found me in the dentist’s chair having a permanent crown cemented, YIKES!  I don’t think the assistant was happy with me at all…but who cares?  It’s my mouth, my teeth, my $$.  Tuesday found me sitting in a Dr.’s office waiting for a very long time to meet with my Dr. on blood pressure meds, etc.  Tomorrow afternoon will find me visiting a Dr. on shoulder pain, arthritis & rheumatism specialist.  Don’t you just love it?  NO - NO - NO!  But I refuse to just lay down and die.  Upward and onward, kicking and rebelling, I’m going to get back to being my laughing, relaxed self.

One of my new friends, met through the greenfelt medium (of course) just sent me an email about Bellagio’s event winner Anna  Wroblewski and gave me permission to post it here on Tango.  (more…)

WOW!  What a wonderful breath of air, all fresh and moist, filled with flowers and light, it’s completely beautiful.  Normally the butterflies are protected from us by a circular netting home, now they are in an enclosed house that we can walk through to view them. (more…)

What a kick!  I’ve only dealt to her one time, that was posted here, but I’ve visited with her briefly at the WSOP ‘06, and at a game she was in last week as I purposely went to say hello to her when I was on a break.  I’d been at the page area visiting with a dealer that had just dealt to Chantel.  The dealer said there weren’t enough chairs in the room for players, let alone sweaters, and Chantel had an entourage that wanted to sit behind her.  I chuckled.  I could see the scene now, without even visiting the table, all guys lining up behind Chantel.  I went to find her.
