Back in america!!

After 3 weeks in the bahamas,we are about an hour east of miami and heading to the nearest steak house. It is funny,you never appreciate america more than when you are coming back from being out of the country. We had a great time and had a lot of conch but it is nice to have the advantages of being an american. I am starting to get excited about football season. Being off is nice but it is nice to be doing something you are good a and for me it is picking winners. I will be home on sunday for a couple of meetings and then to vegas on thursday for the wsop main event. I am feeling pretty lucky and if I am not refreshed now I may never be. Have a great weekend and I will have more regular entries now that I am back in the states.

Ps. North korea can suck it.

Day 4-7 from the dentist to the sea

Well,I'm not sure where I left off with the tales of my journey but here is what's been going on the last few days.

- I woke up after the longest day of my life refreshed and ready for a new start. South seas plantation on sanabel island is beautiful and there were 5 manatees swimming around the boat. I was optimistic it was going to be a great day. As I started biting down on a breakfast sandwich I realized the cap on my tooth had fallen off!! Not good. As the day went along and I was trying to figure out what to do about my tooth all of the power on the boat went off! Apparently,the power cable blew up and I was in need of an electrician. We met some incredibly nice people and they called a friend to come out at 7pm to help me. There are some truly nice people in the world and we were blessed to meet a few over the last few days.

- I found a dentist to look at my tooth. Along with my dentist in norman,we talked about what to do about my cap and the fact I am going to have trouble eating conch without a back tooth. The consensus is to try and keep it clean and make it back to oklahoma before I get it fixed. I love the bahamas but am not sure if I want a bahamian dentist messing with my teeth. On a positive note, I should lose a couple of pounds with the limited diet I will be on. I will keep you updated.

- we left sanabel island and headed 50 miles south the marco island for a couple of days. I had a meeting friday afternoon and will be here for the belmont on saturday. My clients are given my selections on the horse races for free. We hit the exacta in the preakness and are looking for a big win today.

-tomorrow we will set off for key largo. The last time I was in key largo in a boat,I was being pulled off a reef in the john pennicamp national park. I will be exercising some pennicamp national park demons over the next couple of days so I am excited about that.
-the good news is I am 4-0 on my selections when I watch the game in key largo so I am expecting a big win in game 2 of the nba finals. We have had a great run over the last couple of months in hoops and are looking for a big finish.

Have a good weekend and here's to not seeing me on cnn.
