November Sweeps
Wednesday, June 28, 2006
Great news, everybody! Wifey Kim is going to Miami on a speech therapy conference! Of course, it's in November; November 15-19 to be exact. And, in truth, I doubt she'll be learning much about speech therapy, since I don't see many of the seminars taking place at the pool or beach, where wifey Kim will be undoubtedly tanning and gabbing with her friends from work.
And poor lil' Jordan, with nowhere to go...unless...
Atlantic City? This is always a goodie. It's a cheap trip, costing just gas and rooms, preferably at a comped rate for the weekdays. It's a shame that the direct train from NYC to AC won't be running by then. With all this notice, I can probably get some blogger bretheren to meet up too. But even if I don't get blogger bretheren there, it'd be easy to get together some of my local crew. Yes, AC is the great fallback plan! But how about...
Foxwoods? The price of rooms is ridiculous, but I can probably get a room in some seedy motel. The thing is, Foxwoods is only one place. I haven't been there in years, and I wouldn't mind returning to see what's up. The real selling point, though, would be the NE bloggers. I know Waffle is nearby, as is Drewspop and more than a few that I can't think of right now. In fact, I believe Bone Daddy was planning something at the 'woods in November. Not a bad choice at all, especially for a cheap change of pace. Except, how about...
Vegas? Wow, Vegas! What a great idea. The flights will be expensive, probably, but I can always book a free flight through United if I earn enough points by then. Even without that, the experience of Vegas is well worth the price. Wifey Kim's old college roommate lives out there with her poker-playing boyfriend, so I can probably arrange to stay with them. All I'll need is a rental car and a map! Surely I'd get to spend some time with Vegas bloggers like Miami Don and Carmen Sin City (who I just realized that I had yet to link to, now corrected). I might even get some other bloggers to head out to the ole' L.V. for some pokery goodness. If that doesn't work, there is always...
Poker Roadtrip? I'm not sure how this would work. I guess I could start down in Washington, D.C., where I know a few bloggers like Garthmeister. Then, I could make my way up through NJ, hit AC, and keep going through to Foxwoods. Ultimately, I can end up in my old alma matter, Buffalo for some wings and degenerate gambling at the new casinos. Seems like an aweful lot of work, but quite a bit of fun too. Still, it might be too much for 5-6 days.
What a predicament! I wish they were all this tough!
