VLV Wrapup
Posted by TFG on September 27th, 2007
- 6 days - Saturday to today.
- 22 one-hour meetings with customers and partners (2 no-shows).
- 3 two-hour post-mortems.
- 5000 sandwiches - I’ve had roast beef & cheddar, turkey & swiss, ham & American, grilled Ruebens, French dips, open-face meatloaf, and some breakfast deal with eggs, ham and cheese. A burger or two might have snuck in there.
- Approximately 12 hours of ‘tight like TJ’ poker played, only to lose it all on the last hand. Very, very bad call of an all-in, thanks to a bad read. That one hurt.
- About 10 monorail rides - you could do worse than building a poker trip around the monorail. Might try that.
- 10 boxes of equipment shipped from & to Texas.
- 0 pictures - we all forgot.
- 2 whores chatted up - my pard and I were trying to determine how long it would take before they set their sights on some other drunken degenerate gambler. Results: about 15 minutes of banal convo.
- $120 won by betting the Cowboys money line against Da Bears. Untold millions lost by NOT betting the Titans money line. The Saints look to be back to the ‘Ain’s, and I knew it, and I could not get back to the sportsbook to place the bet after rolling it around in my mind.
- One hour of delay at the airport, thanks to Big Dick Cheney.
- Five beers I’ve enjoyed on my couch since getting home - LV is great fun, but it’s just too much, even when you’re doing bidness. I lay in bed at 11 or midnight thinking, “21 floors beneath me, there are thousands of dollars being moved around.” So, that ain’t happening tonight, and I’m glad for that.
