OK, I just have to post this. Very late one night (or early morning depending how you look at it) in the Venetian in Vegas, the casino was nearly empty and I decided to join the few remaining people at a craps table. A very nice man welcomed me while his rather large friends looked on, and I started playing. I noticed that he took an awful lot of cell calls (thankfully short ones), stepping away from the table each time. I took the dice, but noticed that whenever he stepped away, my dice went BAAAD and nobody else would roll (it was just me and the nice young man playing while his friends and some passersby simply "watched"). So I stalled as much as I could each time and we eventually started raking it in. This nice young man kept patting me on the back, telling me to keep on rolling, that I brought him luck etc. We had a great run and both won quite a bit of money, and I bid him goodnight at about 6am. He hugged me and told me to "keep it real". Nice young gentleman!

Several months later, I was watching TV with my teen/twenties daughters (I forget what) and I said "Hey! That's that nice young man I was playing craps with!" It was only then that I found out his name was Jay-Z, apparently rather popular and dating Beyonce. My daughters laughed at me for hours.

And this wasn't the first time, nor would it be the last. I had no idea I was playing cards with KC (of the Sunshine Band Fame) in Atlantis, Allen Iverson (of the '76ers) in Trump Taj Mahal, or Melissa Joan Hart in the halls of Atlantis again, even ate dinner next to Mike Tyson once and didn't know it until after he left. I DID recognize Hulk Hogan and, although it took me while, was able to put a name to the face of Michael Douglas (looked familiar). There were also numerous times that my daughters recognized rappers or actors and I had no clue who they were. And I wonder why people call me oblivious!
