Vegas Bound

Gosh - there's so much I'd planned to post, but every time I think I'm going to get to it, I get distracted. Only one and a half days until I fly outta here to the metropolis of misdeeds, the burg of iniquity, the port of peccancy, yes... no place other than the city of sin - Las Vegas. After witnessing my blood pressure reach an all time and suprising high this morning, it's a no-brainer to say I'm ready for it.

I'm a tad anxious, though. Looking over the list of attendees there are so many whom I don't know. This community has sprouted suburbs I had no idea of. I'm shamed that I've been so out of touch. Lot's of new faces.

It's the curse of an introvert to be launched into high anxiety when faced with large groups of people. I'm a shy person at first glance, so I will ask forgiveness in advance if I come off as aloof. Don't let it stop you from saying "Heya!!" I'll also ask forgiveness in advance from those of you I have met and who I forget that I've met already. There are so many in this community and I have a horrendous memory - I'm a card-carrying geezer, that's my excuse. Ha!

I have no bankroll, but I'm not going to let that stop me from playing. Thanks to this little blog and the tiny income it generates, I've got a fun fund I can dip into to squander at the tables. I've been running so bad of late, I have no illusions that I'll come away ahead, but I'm determined to have a good time - and, speaking of, I hope I get to sit at a Pai Gow table with Mr. Otis. It would be super cool and special to bask in the glory of the Pai Gow king!

Oh, yes. I'm ready. See you in a few!
