I'm stuck here in France, and all I can think about is next week.
I can't wait to....
- see the Vegas strip in the window of my arriving plane
- have the first Tom Collins at a Black Jack Table Wed night
- getting drunk on the golf course with Kermit on Thu morning, Fri morning, or both
- say "$100 parlay on Mt St Mary's and UMBC, please"*
- say "Hello, Bee" to the Ace of Spades
- having three or four of you asking for my picks when we all know I'm no better than 50-50
- cheer Kent State to their 7-10 upset - and winning on the money line
- watch Wiz, Layup and Leland get drunk and wager high sums of money on roulette (note to self: stay away)
- resolve to join Mike D at a $25 craps table this trip sometime
- ridicule Kermit and his blazing 7's
- be intrigued by this new Baccarat fetish that Don has
- stand in awe of Micah as he reacts to basketball games ever worse than I do
- plalce lines on ridiculous wagers (like female sex partners of our waitress) at dinner on Friday/Saturday night
- wake up early morning on Thursday to study the men's lines
- wake up early morning on Saturday to study the women's lines
- resolve to have a long session at a $25 table - wither BJ or Pai Gow
- hit a lotto ticket (my motto: the 14th parlay is the charm!)

- Bloody Mary's on the golf course, awwww yeah.
- Ridiculing Eric for drinking a Tom Collins.
- Accepting the many strokes that Eric will be giving me on the golf course with my 6 handicap. Can I say "Awwwwwwwww yeah!!!" again.
And it's now Wheel of Fortune...and then maybe some Blazing 7's. But, only before I've got a royal flush on video poker.

I've gotta warn you about the Wheel of Fortune. She'll suck $300 out of your pocket in the middle of the afternoon and you might get 2 spins. Beware...
- bring back the screwdriver as my go to drink in the morning.
- open up a craps table by myself on Wednesday afternoon.
- Open up a craps table with the boys on Thursday morning.
- drink frozen daquiris made with Vodka with Wiz.
- get my double down card face down.
- tell the BJ or Pai Gow dealer that they suck and should be banished to the Circus Circus after the 10th bad hand in a row.
- chase my demons on the roulette table.
-ride my own personal train to hell as I play $25 craps with Eric and Mike.
I'm in for a $25 craps session!
Dammit, if the Palazzo doesn't deal the double down card face down, then they are in the same class as Monte Carlo and Casino Royale. One Star only.
I'm sick and tired of people telling me when I can and can't get a card face down. Wake up, America!
