But, Josie being "cool?" Let's not get ahead of ourselves...<br /><br />Just kidding, can't even jokingly say that she's not a hoot and a half! She's always a good hang. And yes, Cranky's a lot of fun and has a great sense of humor. Hopefully this is the first in a list of trips to Foxwoods for the three of us.<br /><br />Also, I sympathize with you losing your pup while you were away. Unfortunately I know the feeling; over the years three of our cats have died or gone into crisis while I was away and Toots had to take care of everything. Ugh.craftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092073053793715234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831516808434643835.post-10218827162921032332012-03-11T16:54:43.836-04:002012-03-11T16:54:43.836-04:00I'm sorry to hear about your Pearl.

I should have cancelled the trip but went anyway and it was a disaster. It killed me that I wasn't there to spoil her one last time.<br /><br />I am heartened by the fact that I spoiled her rotten the rest of the time and she had one of the best lives any dog could expect to have. Doubtless you did the same for your Pearl. <br /><br />It sounds like you had a wonderful time and you shouldn't feel bad because of it. I'm jealous that you guys have good poker so close by and I'm really jealous you have such cool folks to hang out and play poker with.

I hadn't heard about the antiquated pseudo-Cranky who surprised you before my actual arrival.

Good for you.<br /><br />Great stories of course. Heh heh, I actually was waiting for the punch line that the 84 year old eating the meatball sub was also the "anti-semite" who showed you the Chai! <br /><br />You know, any day when the worst mistake you made turns into a suck-out win for you is a great day at poker, to be sure.<br /><br />Of course I was extremely interested the part where Josie flashed the guy. But how can you just say that without explaining the circumstances of such a move, the why's and wherefore's? I'm guess you're waiting for Josie to explain that on her blog, but no doubt, your version of the story would be at least as interesting as hers and possibly even more accurate. Come on Gary, do tell.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.com
