Errands et.al

Today was a day for running errands.  On the plane to Vegas, I discovered that I was having trouble seeing out of my right eye.  I emailed my friend Steve Forte and he recommended an eye doctor here by the name of Dr. Morrison. I called his office at 9 and got an 11:30 appointment.  

Had a nice breakfast and then mosied over to VCA (Victorian Casino Antiques) to visit with the gang.  Peter was in LA but it was nice to see Danny, David, Richard and Freddy.  I saw the Caesars collection and it was truly awesome with many uprights including a Caille Roulette, 2 doubles, a one of a kind that is called the "Little Derby" that could have been made by Watling, check boy, and a Snake three reeler, etc., etc., etc..  A truly remarkable collection.  It will be auctioned off in the fall.

Went to my Doctors appointment and found that I have a fairly normal 2nd cataract that I will have taken care of when I get home.  Dr. Morrison and I had a great conversation.  I found out he was friendly with Chip Reese an all time great poker player and all around nice guy as well as having a home on Flathead Lake in Montana.  Left in a better mood than when I arrived.

Next found a discount luggage store and bought a new duffel then over to the Rio to sign up for the WSOP Seniors.  Begins tomorrow at 10.  I will be in the pavillion black at table 153 seat 9.  Updates via twitter and Facebook.  I also found out that when visiting Vegas I can play poker on line at WSOP.com.  Lots of sattelites to wsop events.

From the Rio to the Venetian to say hi to my friend Will Souther and give him a few dollars for part of his action.  Doubled my $$$ last year with Will.

Having dinner tonight with David "The Maven" Chicotsky my coach and his wife.  Hope he can coach me to a final table in the Seniors.

Stay Tuned!!!
