John, move to Russian. That's the future. Settle in St. Petersburg, lots of art and cultural. And the women are beautiful!

I'd miss my kids and grandkids. Maybe.

I don't know what it's like in RI, but all the Trump supporters that I know are old-school Lefties who'd had it with NAFTA, three-strikes laws and the Iraq interventions.

The only Dem candidates that can move them off Trump should probably be in old-age homes. I just can't see it happening.

Man, that Tulsi Gabbard is really something special. Unfortunately, in the current political climate, she doesn't have a chance. It's just going to be two years of watching a **** show circus.

Last night, I went to see a friend play at the local bar. Since said bar was in downtown and I'm in downtown, I decided to check it out. The second band was okay and we were the last people standing for the last band. We left during their set.

I've been there and that feels awful.

He told me a some lady friend of his and her friend are at the bar up the street, and he asked if I would like to come. Maybe meet this other one. I said, sure, because it's *only* 11pm and what else is there to do on a Wednesday night, plus I could try to give said friend some company, I guess?

It's a 5 minute walk, so we get there and the lady friend, her friend, and some other friend are there. The girl is sitting there, basically being ignored, and I'm kind of looking at her but not creeping on her. Eventually, the other people leave and now it's just the four of us.

The girl breaks the ice with me, so I sit next to her and we have a great chat about music, places we've lived, and not much else. It was a great conversation. As the quote (wrongly) attributed to Einstein:

"When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it’s only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it’s two hours. That’s relativity."

Mid-conversation, she's catching her ride home. She stands, gives me a hug, and I say, "Hey, can I give you my number?" I regret asking that immediately and just wave that off, telling her she doesn't have to, but she says sure, and immediately give me her number.

To hell with rules. I decide to send her a what's up. She did ask what kind of music I do, and so I sent some of that. Three hours later: "It's dope. Is that an 80s song?"

So, now I'll just ask if she wants to jam out or hang out this weekend. Why the hell not?

The type I ran into were union workers, people who think immigrants are taking their jobs, and the disenfranchised. They think Trump's got balls. Ugh!

Made it to day two of the Colossus at the WSOP....in the money. Woo Hoo! Have about 50 bbs, so in good shape....started with about 13,000 players...down to about 2000. I'm sure if you care to look up updates, you'll find me there.

"John, you're very handsome when you're dressed up."

I was not dressed up. Alas.

Yeah, I see the same thing. They have satin baseball jackets with their union's name on the back. They feel abandoned and they're right, they were. They loved Reagan and he was the biggest union buster of all time. Bush1 and Clinton completed Reagan's NAFTA dreams, and off went their manufacturing jobs. Their own union leadership is living 100 years in the past. At least Trump tells them what they want to hear while he's ****ing them.

Congrats to Dom - keep it coming on.

I asked her.

Now all I have to do is wait for 7 hours to see "I'm busy" then wonder if that's a legit excuse or a soft letdown.

I'm one of those people that looks worse when I'm dressed up. A button-down is my upper limit. Beyond that, I look like trailer trash at a masked ball.

Button down shirts are ridiculous.

Maybe there is a real English to American English language barrier, but this is a button down:



ties are rediculous, but a button down is pretty standard attire.

Nice cash Dom!
