Wet, Cold Weekend

Congrats to Chris and anonymous on the correct answer to yesterday's Trivia Question. It was indeed a young Charlie Chaplin! You guys score bonus points for that one!

It sure was great seeing the kids on Friday. It was Veteran's Day and the kids were off school. I left a message for Moira on Thursday asking If I could see the kids since they were off school. Strangely enough she said yes. She said I could see them from 11AM - 4PM. She was 20 minutes late picking them up, but it didn't matter to me. . . . she could have been two hours late and that would have been fine.

Buster and I hit a snow storm coming back over the mountains. Nerve racking tension as I fought the low visibility in the dark with lots of snow falling. Cars sliding off the road and hitting the concrete dividers on either side made me pay even closer attention. Once we got down to North Bend the snow turned to rain and it was smooth sailing for the rest of the trip.

We got back in time to have dinner, chill out a bit and go work the Fenix Underground. It was a light night at the club, but I did the best job that I could. Business wasn't all that much better on Saturday night but I stayed a lot busier. Had groups of people surrounding my table for most of the evening.

I love it when guys identify themselves as card players. Texas Hold'em has propelled card gambling to new heights. I love doing a nice gambling demonstration. I do an eight handed poker deal stacking the aces in any hand named. Gets quite a reaction! What really sells it, is the false riffle shuffle sequence and letting them cut. I love it.

Before the Fenix I did a 10 minute stage set as part of a Variety Show put together by the Brothers From Different Mothers. Also on the bill were "Steve The Pretty Good", Bob Baily III, The Brothers, A Music Act as well as a couple others acts.

I had to leave after my set as I had to be at the Fenix by 9:30PM

After work I went to Emily's party. I did a little show there for an appreciative audience. I featured "The Deans Box" both at the Fenix and at the party. Went over very well. A real fooler!! Got home around 2:30AM and went to bed
