Vacation Volunteer? I guess I volunteered to drive my wife to Canada to visit her mom. Ugh!Every year we pile in the clown car and drive 9 hours to Toronto. There is no easy way to travel there from Washington DC, because of the near impassable mountains of Pennsylvania...but we persevere like pioneers and find the mountain passes and travel north. We never go in the winter, we only made that mistake once...brrrr, cold! This year we decided to spend the night in Niagara Falls, on the Canadian side of course. The poor Americans have no view or casino. We met our daughter who drove over from Rochester for dinner. It was nice. Without words she knew I had forgiven her for the terrible things she had said, during her last visit. The four of us eating in a Italian restaurant...this was our vacation, just like old times.
I snuck out of the hotel around midnight and went in search of a poker game. The Casino was right across the street and was calling my name...Jeeeef come play with us! Bring Money! I didn't get to play as the waiting list for a table was impossibly long so I went home around two. The next morning I went back to the casino around 11am. First I played in a North American Poker Championship WPT Satellite Qualifier...that didn't go to well. I went All-In with pocket Nines and some donkey called me with K-Q. After that I Played $1-$2 NL for 6 hours and I was Deliciously Aggressive and Dominated some poor Vietnamese guy until he would fold if I was in the pot. It was awesome...and I finish about a hundred (Hunj) up. I went all-in with Kings, Queens and 9-7. Then I played Roulette...which is a quick way to loose your money, but fun. They say, the French invented two ways to kill a man... the guillotine and roulette. I won about $150 on the wheel of death. Not a lot of money...but I love winning. I don't really know what Colette, Christopher and Christine did. Around seven I started feeling guilty so I quit.
We then made the final push towards Toronto, Family and Dinner. I was so hungry I had not eaten all day. It was Nice to see everyone and I was in a pleasant mood the rest of the evening. Awash with the glow of victory.
