Johnny Chan Weekend

Well, that was easy. What was I worried about?

I owe Jen Leo more than the money we'll pay her for the article and the dinner we promised. She came through like only a warrior of the business could. Deadline set, deadline made, and in between we all got a little sleep. Plus, I live to fight another week. This is good.

But I don't want another week of checking behind sofas for loose interviews. Much better to have a back-log ready to use at a moment's notice. This is the new plan.

And there's a new poker celebrity coming to town, which is why my Saturday night has been commandeered to see Johnny Chan at the Western. Not to mention a press lunch tomorrow at the Sportsman. I have no idea how to get to these places, let alone get back, but it should be good for a cucumber sandwich or two without crusts. It will be a late finish, but that's the only way to get the job done apparently.
