I've been reading the tip reports, and I'm glad that everyone had a good time in Vegas.
Bastards.
A huge congrats to Hoy for placing ITM - you rock! And I'm still hugely jealous of those who played in the WSOP. I've told Hunny Bunny that I'm going to be there next year, even if I have to sell a body part to do it. He had a few suggestions on which body parts I can spare - it's an interesting list.

While everyone was playing the WPBT, I was losing a tad more than was comfortable at the Fallsview.
Why?
Two reasons:
1) I was so card dead it was crazy. I won 4 pots the whole time I was there.
But the most important reason was 2) Pride goeth before a fall.
On the way to the Fallsview, I sat beside a guy who plays poker. We chatted, talked about poker mostly. I made the mistake of stating how well I do live, and how every time I've been to the Fallsview I've at least tripled my buyin.
Talk about waving a red flag to the Poker Gods. Duh.

Work is evil right now. I'm tired, stressed, and ready to not hear the sound of girlish voices for at least a week. There's a idiom that states "Familiarity breeds contempt". So, so true.
****
One of the shining lights of the summer is the trip to Okie-Vegas, which Hunny Bunny and I were planning on riding down to.
Yes, that's right, past tense.
I'm still going, but HB has had a very lucrative job offered to him in Orlando...and I mean lucrative (he'll be making in one week what I make in six). Plus he'll be making more contacts in the corporate world, which is never a bad thing when you're self employed. We talked about it, and while we both want to go down there together, it's just too good an opportunity for him to pass up, so he's off to Orlando on the 15th with my blessing.
So it looks like I'll be flying down; dates to be confirmed.
And we've decided to take a 2 week ride through Quebec when we both get back from our adventures. Magnifique!
