Vegas Bound!


Ms. Duck and I are taking a much-needed vacation in Las Vegas.

We leave tomorrow from Austin and will spend a couple days at Sam's Town before moving to the Encore on Monday, which is also Ms. Duck's birthday..

I hope to share a few stories of big pots at the poker tables and a win or two on those sweet, sweet video poker machines. :)

NFL Picks Contest-Final Results


Congratulations to Music City Momma, who showed the men how it's done! Your Titans shirt is on the way.

MCM led wire-to-wire and would have had a perfect season had the Falcon's coaching staff not forgotten how to call a running play on their last drive.

Also, a shout out to defending champion Captain Crunch who represented well with his second place finish.

Thank you to everyone who played along. See you here again next fall!
