Well, after Katie, I didn't think it could get better, but it did...or at least a different flavor of great...Paty was a little older, not quite as pretty, but a great performer and very smart/good conversationalist, which was important since she was there for 12+ hrs.

After that, yesterday was my BD...I was dead...got up...wishing that I had not scheduled any pussy for that day...and low and behold...a BD present...an email from Vanessa #1...had to cancel...personal issues...could meet me on Sun @ 9pm....told her thanks, but no/no problem. May reschedule her for the end of the week in lieu of another Paty (variety rules)...

...so with that, I could relax...got some more sleep...and went on a walking tour of the Old Town...plenty of pics - see pics in images...cold as shit....just below freezing, blowing snowdust...windy...walked around for 2-3 hrs...visited bank to exchange money...need Latvia Lats (1 Lat:1.72 USD) for food gifts and gambling, Euros for hookers (1 Eu:1.2 USD), and Lithuanian Litas (.35 Li: 1 USD) for stuff where I'll be Mon-Thurs.

Bought a lot of tourist shit...and some local champagne and some Latvian liqueur - RIGA BLACK BALSAM is a liqueur produced from natural raw materials. The traditional recipe is based on a well-balanced and unique composition of plants, flowers, buds, juices, roots, oils and berries. The liquor contains twenty-five ingredients. The Balsam is available in ceramic hand-made jugs.

Good to mix with coffee. I bought a load of this stuff, so some of youse will prolly get to taste it after the first of the year~smile.

Back to the hotel for a little nap...did a little email/work...and then down to the casino...small area...about 20 tables, bj, Caribbean stud (called oasis stud, here), six-card stud, and Texas hold-em...all dealer/house based games not against other players. Played about 2hrs of BJ...2 or the 5 other guys at the table were dipshits..did not know how to bet and were fucking it up for the rest of us...poor hand signals resulting in many burned cards several of which meant me winning instead of losing the hands....got fed up and went over to the Texas Hold-em table and did pretty good there for a while...

...played about 3 hours and got up about 400...then got greedy and tripled my average ante/bet scheme about the same time my cards went south...ended up 2 hrs later in the hole about 200...cheap entertainment for my BD...went to sleep...

...up this morning...traded emails with Vanessa #2 for tonight...I think she's a little more "professional"...asked for the $$ to be available upon arrival...anyway...got her for ON'er until my ride picks me up @ 10 am tomorrow for my work assignment.

Got a phone call from my older son...something about a STUNNING home-floor upset of the Horn's men's BB team...smile.

Hopefully, I'll be able to grab a bunch of pics and DV of Vanessa #2...by pics, she looks like the stunner of the bunch...and the most expensive thus far...($600 for 12 hrs)...she says she's taking me out on the town...I'm planning on making 4 deposits~smile....

More later on Monday night....

Vol in Riga

Dude,

I had a FSB GF a while back and she fed me some of that balzam stuff. It's the nastiest, more horrid tasting drink imaginable. I told her I'd rather sit at a bar and hit my pecker with a ball-peen hammer than drink any more of it.

She was a little pissed -- it's famous throughout the FSB/EEu region, to the point where her husband (now deceased) would take a vacation to Riga solely to buy bottles of the crap for himself and all his buddies.

But it's still basically reindeer piss with pine needles.

Dem Older-but-Wiser Gnomes

yeah....I'm having some in coffee as "flu medicine" and giving the rest of away to "friends".
