spain Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 This is a slow time of the year here at the huddle, so I thought I would give you guys a running narrative of my life. Yesterday was my 44th birthday! My wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday, and I said what I would really really really like is to go to Vegas by myself and play poker for 3 straight days. She said ok, I booked the flight, and I am now sitting at the Nashville airport drunker than Foster Brooks on a 3 month bender. Today I went to the specialist for my bad shoulder. He looked at the MRI and told me that I definitely have a torn Labrum and the rotator cuff is shredded. He wants me to go through physical therapy to see if that makes things better. Mind you, I cant lift my arm above my hard pecker so PT is not an option. I said, "how stupid do I look to you Doc? I know you want to make money off me going to the PT clinic you own and then cut me up like a November buck. But no amount of physical therapy will cure me. lets get this shi@te over with." He promised to operate within the month if I just go do some pt. Anybody who says our healthcare system aint a racket is a liar. Anyway, he gives me not 1, not 2, but 3 cortizone shots in my dam shoulder. Did some last minute work and headed to the airport. Check my bags at the curb and guess who is standing beside me? Go ahead and guess. Yep, you guessed it, Tanya Tucker! I live in Nashville, but rarely see any real "stars" with the exception of Kenny Chesney who eats at the greasy spoon I do every Sunday morning for breakfast and Lee Greenwood who lives in my nieghborhood. But I recognized Tanya right off and she looks aweful by the way. Old and more makeup than a 10 day old corpse. Plane was late so I went to the airport bar. Sat down by a young kid and watched poker on tv. The kid just got back from Iraq and was heading back in May. he was suppposed to get out, but got caught up in the surge. He was heading back to Ft Stewart outside Savannah. Good kid. From phoenix. I picked up his check and told him we all appreciate what he is doing. Plane leaving, I will pick up the story in Vegas.

Got multiple cortisone shots in my knee last November so I could run the NYC marathon, stop being such a Rosie O'Donnell. Have a safe trip and a great time in Vegas.

Do me a favor, I want you to take $50 and put it on 17 black (roulette). Not for me mind you but for you. it is your B-day present from me. That will hit when you play it. and no I'm not going to give you $50 if it doesn't hit because it is going to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great story, my friend! PT may do some good, but if you shredded stuff, it ain't gonna work. You're 3 years older than I was when I had my rotator done. Hopefully they learnt some stuff in 16 years. Enjoy Vegas! I got clearance on a couple of those "Me only thingees in Vegas" w/ Mrs. RR's graces! to Mrs. RR! God I love her! I came back relaxed and a happy man. Before I had my neck surgery I did one of those. It was a convention, but I still maxed my gambling time and came back ready for the surgery w/ an open mind, no regrets! Hang in there! My best to you! I had to bag out on the Big John thing this weekend which really pissed me off! I hate being sick! I'm goin' to the Doc next week and we're gonna dance on several topics. Good luck in Vegas! Good luck w/ your shoulder! Give your wife and kids kisses for me! Your friend, rr26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 The plane was about 40 minutes late so Southwest Airlines gave us free drinks the entire 4 hour flight to Vegas! I love Southwest baby! I am the last one on the plane and head to the very back of the bird. There are about 8 or 9 guys from Charlotte heading out to Vegas for a bachelor party. I slide right into their group like I belong. They brought their own booze on the plane and were already completely blotto by the time they get to Nashville. Loud, drunk, and obnoxious. Just the type party I like. then a couple chicks from Vandy came back and hung out and talked trash the whole way! Good omens for the weekend to come. When we exit the plane, security was there to meet the Charlotte guys about them bringing liquor on the plane. I didnt hang around to see what happened... Plane lands and I go get on the shuttle bus to take me to the rental car building. Ive never rented a car in Vegas but wanted to try it. Pretty simple procedure. I am staying at the Embassy Suites I know, I know, but it was free with my Hilton Honors points. Its across the parking lot from the Hard Rock. Thought about going over there but I am drunk and tired and its almost 3:00 am Nashville time. Time to sleep before my 3 day poker fest begins.

T_bone65 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) Good luck out there Spain and happy belated b-day Great woman you have there also to let you up and go to Vegas on no notice like that. I am looking forward to WCOFF and possibly my pool league again 2 weeks before WCOFF. If I hadn't been off of work the last 12 weeks from my knee replacement I would just stay to entire 2 weeks. IF I do win enough money maybe I will 2 weeks in Vegas would be sick without a doubt Good Luck bro, I always win when I gamble around my b-day, always edit to add: make sure you hook with Whomper and his boyz while you are there, he is leaving tonight. IF you don't have his number shoot me a PM Edited April 20, 2007 by T_bone65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spain Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 (edited) Gotta love the Hilton Honors points. Let me know how that place is because that's one of my free options when I stay in Vegas. Good luck this weekend. Actually, its pretty nice! The LV Hilton was booked up by the time I decided to come so it was either the Embassey Suites(2 of them here), a couple of Hampton Inns, or the Doubletree out at the airport. This Embassey Suites is right behind the Hard Rock Cafe, has a nice view, but is off the strip. Nice big comfortable room. It has a shuttle that takes you to the strip every half hour. I have a car though so I am going to valet at TI, play there until noon. Then I am going to play in that daily noon tourney they have at Caesars. I REALLY like the structure of the Caesars tourney. After the soldier left the bar to catch his plane last night, the lady who was sitting beside him, an extremely wealthy looking New Yorker asked me about him. She was dripping with gold and jewels and money oozed out of every pore. So, I was giving her the story about the kid, and she went off on like a 20 minute diatribe on the War in Iraq, how Bush was a bad bad bad man, blah blah blah. She was like the New York Jewish female with class version of skins. I told her I was on the Obama train but she is a Hitlery fan. She likes Obama but said he was green. I replied, "I thought he was black" and she looked me like I had on my Klan robe. (Note to self: southerners cannot make racial jokes to New York liberals.) I told her that she better not praise Hillary too much down south or she might find herself bound and gagged floating down the Cumberland River. She didnt like that either and couldnt understand how everyone doesnt love Hillary. I dropped the hammer and told her that outside of NYC, Hillary is hated more than Adolph Hitler. Ok, maybe that was a bad reference considering my audience, but she rolled right on. Edited April 20, 2007 by spain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
