Poker - she's pooped!

I'm such an old lady. It's nine in the PM on a Saturday night and I'm home, in my jammies, having departed early from one of the great gatherings of the year - affectionately known as Okie-Vegas. I just had no more party in me.

I've enjoyed the hell out of this week.

There are so many moments - those kind of moments that create those shared memories that are relived over and over after each meet-up - kinda like a great chinese dinner... the belch that brings the flavors all back again. Lots of laughs and good times with damn good people.

I can't think of more gracious and generous hosts than Mr. And Mrs. G-Cox. Many, many, many thanks for the hospitality - great munchies and a GREAT cookout at the lake - I so enjoyed the Bambi-burgers (sorry, Gracie)!

I'll have some more to say - a couple of pics to post - but I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to all the attendees this year - you guys rock. I had such a good time and wish I had the stamina I once did to hang with you longer than I did.

What a week. Time spent with good people and, to top it off, the joy of seeing a friend live a dream and reap a much deserved reward. More thoughts on that later, as well.

In the meantime, reports are trickling in - check out these intrepid bloggers for all the shenanigans:
