So I had an epiphany last night while playing poker at our "home game". I think I want to be a professional dealer. There is a guy who plays with us that is currently taking lessons from an existing pro dealer and was showing us how he learned to spread or fan the cards...He sucked at it and this was after two lessons! So I decide I should try to fan the cards as well. Everyone was pretty much gone for the night and so I wasn't under risk of embarrassment. I split the deck and TADA a perfect fan. The guy who was taking the lessons makes a comment about beginners luck. I do it again. Again I spread a perfect fan. He wasn't that happy for me but did let me know that the cost of lessons is $500. From talking with the dealer that gives the lessons (ken and I know him from the casino that were we like to play cards) he makes approx.75,000/year! Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!! So I was invited to go and observe a lesson. I am definately going to do this and then maybe after Christmas seriously contemplate lessons. They are trying to open a huge new casino 30-45 minutes from where I live and that would be a fun new job!
Speaking of Christmas, Amy, Ken's work is not doing a shut down this year. This means that there is a possibility that I won't be able to come out for Christmas. He just found this out and will be putting in a request for PTO (paid time off) on wednesday. We hope he doesn't get beat to the punch.
I love this idea especially since I can never ever ever get a hold of Heather! (stop screening my calls!!!!!!!!!!)
Love you all!

I can see you as a dealer. Talk a little, flirt a little, make a lot of tips.
For the record... I do not screen all your calls. I'm gone A LOT! And... sometimes I don't even answer the phone when Doug calls -- especially if Gilmores are on.
It sounds great, but I thought you were moving to North Carolina? Just curious. I think this would be a job you would love, just keep in mind the hours for when you have kidlets. Always being practical.
