Thanks to Mike for having us all over to the estate!
Got to see Sig, Serge, Marco, and Brad. Met Marco's friend from Japan, Brad's better half, and learned how to play Russian Rules Chess from Serge (take a shot of vodka after every 5th move).
Now I don't know if Russian chess play gets worse the more vodka they shoot or if Russians just become more merciful, but Serge stomped on me the first two games and then I won the third. Of course, I was doing my shots from a measured shot glass and he was doing his shots from a plastic cup and they looked to be double shots -- Serge could put some frat boys to shame shooting vodka. Blech!
Well, it's time to prepare for Vegas, where I plan to act like I know how to play poker (I love watching the poker tours on television). If you're gonna be in Vegas, feel free to stop by the booth and ask me for an autograph
