Read MoreNew Orleans is my favorite city in America. Over the next 18 days and nights, I’ll be here and will share with you what I love about this special place. With the final WSOP Circuit stop of the season now happening at Harrah’s New Orleans (May 8-20), followed by the WSOP National Championship (May 22-24), many poker players and their colleagues will be coming into town, as well. Hope to see you in the Big Easy!
Read MoreI just finished walking two fucking miles through the mountains of North Carolina only to find the ending point of my destination closed for business.
I did this not just once, but twice. Once on Saturday, and again a second time on Sunday.
You might ask — at what precise hour of the day were my two excursions?
My first venture ended at 2:20 pm. My second venture was completed at 1:05 pm.
Question: What kind of fucking pancake house padlocks its front doors at 1:05!
I’ll tell you precisely what pancake house. Stick around. Grab a chair. Pop some popcorn. Better yet — make some pancakes!
