It's poker night at our house. Unfortunately, we don't play - we watch. We've got ourselves hooked on the World Poker Tour on The Travel Channel. Two-hours every Wednesday night and they package the action so that it really sucks you in. Tonight was the PartyPoker.com Million II Tournament hosted by Card Player Cruises - a $25 Buy-In Single Table event (they're already qualifying people for PartyPoker.com Million III in March 2004 here with Super Satellites every Tuesday Night). I'm feeling a strong urge to learn Texas Holdem.
On the way into work this morning I saw a huge C-5 transport on the ground at O'Hare. It's not something that you normally see at O'Hare, even at the USAF Ramp area in the northeast corner of the field. I had to run an errand at lunch today, and looked over to the military area on the field, and there it was Air Force One. George the 43rd was in town, and his plane was on the tarmac at O'Hare. I love that plane. Not only does it look good, but it really is the symbol of America when The President travels, almost like an ambassidor itself. By the time I had come back from my errand, Air Force One was gone, but the C-5 was still there with its nose swung open for cargo loading. I wonder if the C-5 is like an advance plane, carrying limos/cars and other support "items" for The President when he travels?
