Move those browser windows out of the way. Let's see the agenda!

Does this mean we're also getting a Rolex Basel release event?

Kevin: this is not for the faint of heart. It takes TRAINING. INTENSE training. You have four weeks; so slowly start going from a drink a day, to a bottle a day and hopefully several a day

Lol, I don't drink but have upped my cigar and food intake to prepare. In Tucson for a few days to adjust to the desert heat.
Very excited about meeting everyone in person.

*4***F*O*U*R***weeks to the GTG!
My TRAINING is progressing nicely and getting set for the Big Event;

- Dog/house sitter lined up
- Tickets for a show on Thursday night booked
- Wife excited about going and ready to meet some others TRF'ers with watch problems
- Living on less-on-less sleep per night
- Consuming more alcohol and eating more than usual
- Twirling chips methodically in my right hand and drink with left (great for blackjack table)
- Stocked up on Happy socks
- Phone numbers of other TRF partners in crime loaded into cell phone

Almost have it together! I should be ready to peak on 4/19 and make it through the weekend!

.

How is your training going?

Yes! Something quite enjoyable about twirling chips, having a drink, and playing blackjack!

We are really looking forward to meeting everyone.

I booked tickets to see Steely Dan at the Venetian Saturday night, then I am ready to go the rest of the night.
