A Chip Off The Ol' Block

PhillyTwo is in Vegas this week...well, since last Thursday...visiting Bud, who has been living out there for a few months. Bud fancies himself a pretty good poker player, but on Monday night when he and PhillyTwo played in a poker tournament at Binion's, she left him in the dust. She took first place and he took doodly squat. (That's my girl!) Of course, along with the first place prize money, she got an automatic entry into Binion's Sunday Championship Tournament. And as she has mentioned to me on the phone no less than ten times since her win, she'd really, really like to play in it. As of last night, she was thinking about cancelling her Thursday flight so she could do just that. And I don't blame her. I'd probably do the same thing. And as it turns out, Bud is over Vegas (not as in, the King of Vegas, but as in, the job is not panning out) and is ready to come back to Knoxville. And what better time than the end of the month? (That's a big NO to the August rent payment) And he'd have someone to drive back across the country with...hopefully, the Championship Tournament winner!

She sounds so much like her aunt Priscilla, don't you think?

She lost. Now she and Bud are on their way home.
