On a plane to florida and it finally happened....

Well, I am currently somewhere between oklahoma city and atlanta on my way to florida and it finally happened. We are on one of the smaller planes that only has 2 seats on each side of the isle. I am in 2a and as I walked on the plane,turned the corner, I saw it.... The guy sitting next to me makes me look like I am richard simmons. He is 6'4 and at least 400 lbs!!!!he has the seat belt extension and is squeezed into the seat next to me like a sardine! As I approach my seat I start laughing and say" who in the hell did we piss off at reservations!?!? He doesn't respond and goes back to eating his subway. I then say, " I'm not sure you understand, this seat,where your left belly flab is currently residing is my seat. You are going to need to wrap up your subway and let's see if we can do the impossible."
The flight attendant came over and everyone watch to see if I could pull a david blaine meets circus ole and squeeze into my seat. After a pretty seamless entry into the seat, only having to move his breast once and some folds of his side pouches , I was in.

Then to find the belt!!!!

It was like excavating king tuts tomb. I dove down under the layers of his belly and found the belt, sucked in my own issues and fastened the belt.

We are in!!!!

No conversation, I am sitting at a 45 degree angle into the isle and counting the minutes till this plane lands.
Wish me luck on the dismount and I will check back later.

EVERYONE IS THINKING IT AND IM SAYING IT...THE WINTER OLYMPICS HAVE REALLY GOTTEN "GAY"

Now before I get into my thoughts of the winter Olympics, let me say this so I can get it out of the way, and every time some of you might get offended,please look back to this sentence...
 
I love Gays! They don't bother me at all. Although it isn't for me, I can respect a man that says, I love other men no matter how much it grosses some people out.  Its all fine with me..
 
BUT
 
The winter Olympics have really gotten gay!  Now most of you are thinking I must be referring to the Men's figure skating. Absolutely, from top to bottom, the skating is unbelievable!  I honestly feel like I am watching a  Will Ferrell movie every time its on. From the preview with the music " show down" where they have tall lanky men doing their best to dress like a peacock and behave like a human butterfly to their version of smack talking that you are more likely to hear in a beauty salon than a sporting event. Even the "expert" they keep getting quotes from. This guy seems pretty straight and look like a mans man. He is the last man to win back to back gold metals in men's skating and when he talks you feel like he is getting the sport a little more to the middle until they tell you his name....DICK BUTTON!! Now, there is nothing gay about the name Dick Button unless you are watching Dick Button break down the "peacock triple" that is being performed by the 'bad boy of American figure skating, the human butterfly...."   You get the idea. 
 
With all of that being said, the skating isnt what bothers me the most. Did you catch the 2 man luge!!!  Now this is unbelievably gay!  Not one but two men, in tights, on a flexible flyer, laying on top of each other sliding down a hill.     Seriously?    Was it really necessary to have two men on the sled? Is there any more skill in having one man grind and bounce on another man going down a hill than there is in just having one man?  I haven't seen anything gayer than  the prestart of that event since I saw broke back mountain! They grab on to the start poles and swing back and forth three or four times until I guess the feeling is right, then they push off and lay back on each other!!!  Sounds more like a porno you might find in a hotel than an Olympic sport. 
 
Again, I am not against homosexuals. It really doesnt bother me that much, I am one of those that believes it is not a chosen thing and you are either born that way or not so I dont really have an issue with it but I will say, I am ready for more skiing etc and less of what they have given us this week.
 
We are winning again with the selections. 11 of the last 13 weeks in hoops and winning again this week!!!!! Making a lot of money, if you are thinking about playing the games, please get signed up and join us. Heading to Vegas tomorrow for the WPT at the Venetian, I will check in from there.

Going back to cali then to vegas

I am on a flight with my wife heading for california. We take this trip every year before the super bowl. Just the 2 of us and it is always fun. We actually don't do much, some walking on the beach, eating a lot, my wife looks for movie stars etc. in the beginning,it was her idea to go. She calls it a "lovers trip". I think we have lovers trips all the time but this one is special to her. I think it was originally a yearly chance for her to decide if she still loved me and she decided rather she was going to put up with my hijinks for another year. Now, after 16 years of marriage,I think it is just a chance for her to get away from being a mom for a few days. I don't have to pass the test anymore. She drank the cool-aid. We may go whale watching tuesday so that should be fun.

Then to vegas. The football season was o.k. I have had lots of great seasons over the last 10 years. I have had a couple of bad ones but this one was just ok. A small profit for the season clients. The problem is that when we are that close to even, there are going to be lots of different opinions on exactly how the season actually was. Here is what I mean.

Let's say player 1 played all of my selections and went 100-100. He is going to say he didn't lose money ,except juice, and isn't very happy but understands it could have been worse and will hope for much better next year.

Player 2 played the exact selections but on 10 different games that the line was -2.5 he got the game at -3.5. Then those games ended our team 17,the other team 14. He loses those 10 games! Not good for him because instead of being 100-100 ,he is (with only 10 games different) 90-110!! He loses 20 units on the season and is mad.

Now some will have the lines work for them and they will win 20 games more but fact will be ,some are very happy. Most are o.k. And some lost.

we did better than the 100-100 example but you get the idea. Now on a season where we go 150-75, everyone is happy. Some more than others but not too many angry clients.

Thankfully, we are making money almost every week this season in hoops so the ones that are betting hoops are all very happy.

Have a good week, I will check in from cali then vegas.
