Harvest Classic -Regina

Ok....so heading to Regina to play poker. I think I am leaving on Westjet at 4:00 pm only to find out that noooooooo I forgot that I found a cheaper flight on Air Canada and am leaving at 1:o0 pm. Which is great if you don't mind scrambling for two hours in the morning because you thought you had all day today to prepare and you have a work presentation to give at 9:30 a.m. and you hope it doesn't go too long 'cause you need to get to airport. Oh and clothes! No problem - dry cleaners opens at 7:30 a.m. but NOT on Rememberance Day - you'd think I'd remember that but no - someone in the elevator pointed that out to me. All this by 7:45 am. Presentation at 9:30 a.m. - check for little cord I need to hook up Mac Air to projector and can't find it in it's usual safe place - why? Because I left it in an office four weeks ago which was the last time I used it - - call my client ask them to have their own laptop ready . 8:00 a.m. the fire alarms start clanging - no panic just a test to see if we can here them in our suites. Hear them???!!!! I think i am suffering internal bleeding from the pitch and volume - oh well I guess they are working.

Pack least wrinkled clothes - afterall it is a poker tournament and these people are definitely not fashion mavens so really - clean is pretty high fashion for them. Anyhow - i can purchase anything i forget cause i am staying next to Sear's and Regina's Cornwall Centre. .

9:30 a.m. presentation to client - all goes well YAY!!! and done in record time...sooooooo. head home 'cause now I have time to park my car at home and call for a ride to the airport. get home and forgot that during the test fire alarm I gave my gate opener to my neighbour for their use while I was away - AND they already gave it to their guest who is using the parking space while I am away....sooooo how to get in? Thank heavens for the mystery woman on the 6th floor who can open the gate from her suite and in I get.....park and off to airport.

Where I write this...Maple leaf lounge...sunny room...preparing to play poker. Yay. Looking forward. Feeling remarkably calm despite my morning. Looking forward to playing.....

Cash Games today - tournies start tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes!
