Tunica bound

You are about to embark on a most delightful journey.
--fortune cookie I just opened today!

Can't believe in just a day I'll be jumping in a car and headed off to Tunica. Hopefully will not have to deal with rain --going or coming-- because of Wilma.

A road trip. Haven't really had one of those in a while.

I've been whoring through the bonuses and right now they're all stacked up like planes trying to land here in the A-T-L. I finished the Eurobet bonus, am working on the puny $25 bonus, I have the Gaming Club $25 bonus on deck and next week I'll deposit into the Poker Room (what I call "Sucky Room" because of its software) bonus.

In other news, I got my first chip set yesterday! I ordered it after clicking on a link on AllVegasPoker.com and saw this great deal -- a 1,000 chip set with an aluminum case for $125. I also bought a double deck of Kems.

They arrived at work yesterday and boy, 1,000 11.5 gram chips are heavy! I cracked open one of the Kem packs. There is nothing like a Kem card. Just shuffling them and looking at them reminded me of those first days playing at the Horseshoe in Las Vegas, all the subsequent moments of holding Kems at the Bellagio and having my heart pound like a jackhammer, all-in at the O's $2/5 NL game.

Anyway, can't wait to travel and play and eat free comped food. Hopefully there will be time because of a windfall to sneak into the Horseshoe's pool next door and enjoy living in the moment.
