I was awake for a total of nine hours on Tuesday.
It's a very real possibility that I won't sleep a total of nine hours for the next four days.
Reason? Nevada.
It would be an understatement to say that I'm excited about traveling to the desert.
**********
As is always the case when I travel (especially to Nevada), I'm a little behind as far as this site is concerned. Before I left, I desperately wanted to write about Brandon Jennings and Cameron Heyward and Mike Zimmer and how much I hate white people, but that just ain't gonna happen. I still have to purchase mini-toiletries and lip balm and chewing gum. And, of course, I need to remind myself not to forget my cell phone charger and an extra wife beater. (And should I bring a fancy pair of trousers?)
As you can plainly see, I'm a little stressed at the moment.
Plus, I have to leave for work in a few minutes.
**********
So, because I'm predictably behind on my day, there will be no Vickers picks this weekend. Sadly. And I'm not bringing my Dell computer on the trip, either. However, I will document every single sports wager I make over the course of the weekend -- and try to estimate how much I risked at various gaming tables -- and I think you'll soon find that I'm the walking definition of "degenerate."
I promise you: This will blow your mind.
I promise you: You will lose respect for me in less than one week.
Wish me luck!

Mom,
I love you.
