Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control. -------------Jack Kornfield I resolved to spend less time in Russia this year and it's going great so far. I just got back from Moscow. This year is already 11 hours old and thus far, I've only spent about seven of them at the Kremlin. I can't tell you much about why I was there. And there isn't much to tell, anyway. My friend Vlad won England in a poker game---It was (Mostly) just like New Year's Eve 1985. That's when my friend Eddie won Milwaukee in a poker game. Eddie was thrilled and is still thrilled to this day because he loves beer, cheese, sausage and motorcycles, all of which Milwaukee produces in abundance. He knows that he really doesn't own Milwaukee but he's happy. Everyone was happy for him, too, and played into the fantasy. My friend Ronnie even went to Grand Haven State Park in Michigan and made the famous, "Mr. Eddie, tear down this Lake!" speech. The similarities continue until you get to the point where you realize that Vlad really does think he owns England and the twin realization that, unlike Eddie, Vlad has his own Army, Navy and Nuclear Weapons. That's why I had to go to Russia. The bright side is, I didn't have to go to Wisconsin. As long as he doesn't try to sell Milwaukee Lord And Ladyships on YouTube, no one cares that Eddie pretends to own it. I wish Vlad were that simple but so far, so good. #2023,Day1 #??????????? ?????? ????!!

Better watch those poker games, We can’t afford to lose any more property.

That's why I don't play poker. I don't want to be responsible for losing something important.

@RubyHawk I'm not big on them, either. There are some I should take but it's hard for me.

That's because the FBI is just a bunch of amateurs.

As your buddy Willie C. Dukenfield once said, “I’d rather be in Philadelphia.” Happy new year!
