    A normal start time in the 06:00 to 07:00 window....temperature outside was -1*F w/ a wind-chill of -16*F....might as well play some Poker and Blackjack (of course I would anyways....but what the hay)....my dad was fond of saying...."My mommy told me I'd have days like this....But not everyday!!"....
   Followed the usual routine....no luck getting a 200/100 blind table....but took a "chair" at a 1000/500 blind table....first hand pocket Ladies....and flopped trips....and then proceeded to lose a very nice pot to a runner, runner flush....although I did win a few pots along the way and enough to complete the 10K+ cash mission....never did dig myself out of the "hole" that dang flush put me in....had a few other decent hands....but got rivered so many times I thought I might drown....guess it just wasn't my day....and was a decent table....no real pot pushing....a few all-ins....usually after the turn, or river....and caught some decent cards....and hit a few flops....I guess that "Old Man River" just had it in for me today....ergo....played about 20 minutes....18 hands played....on average a 5 or 6 player table....left 24,500$ at the table (no slots played)....but both 16+ & 10K+ in-tow....and off to Blackjack 21....
   Took my "chair" at a pretty stable table of 3 or 4 players....but my "luck" (or lack of there of) from Poker followed me to the Blackjack 21 table....played 6 minutes before I won a hand....one early hand was dealt 2 Aces....split....20 & 16....dealer showing a 6....made a 20....nuts....and 7 minutes before a dealer bust....but my "luck" changed a little....and did manage to dig myself at least partially out of the "hole" I found myself in....ergo....10 minutes played....15 hands played....6 wins....1 blackjack....1 split....2 dealer busts....down 15$....
