Arrived in Vegas

Got to the shuttle place in time, to the airport in time. Had a driver pick me up (he even had my name on a card!) and off I went to the Riviera. I asked him to stop at CVS so I could buy some bottled water and some snacks (so I don't get poked in the eye in the casino).

BTW, as we walked to the car, the driver said "God Bless you Jerry" to a guy being pushed quickly in a wheel chair. I didn't think anything of it, as the driver had already talked to several people at the airport. So, I figured it was just another guy he knew, but oh, it wasn't just ANY Jerry, it was Jerry LEWIS! He was 50 pounds lighter and being rushed toward the airport, but it was still cool to see the 83 year-old legend.

BCAPL 8-Ball Championships is where it's all at!

I was able to get the tower closest to the food court! I was so darn happy; it was awesome.... UNTIL... I went to the food court to get my favorite fried rice with no onions and to my astonishment, only 2 restaurants are open out of 10 for remolding, and the Chinese place is one of the closed ones! AAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!

OMG. The fried rice with no onions was my staple for the next ten days. I am devastated.... :(

I will check out the Food Court again soon - seemed there were curtains around certain restaurants and just MAYBE they switch out certain ones a day to remain open (this is the optimist in me). :)

I did get to get some practice in. At first I was moving my body at the end of my stroke, but after that was pointed out to me, I played better. Whew. ;)

I am super tired. We play our first scotch match at 9am tomorrow morning. After that it's every hour, if we stay in. So I need some pool-stamina rest.

G nite.
