Time bends for the poker player

You spend enough time in a casino and time carries no relevance for you. Case in point, Monday night I came in from a bad night of poker in town and slipped into bed after midnight. At about 1:30 a.m. my wife and I were awakened by my beeping cell phone.

The message read as follows: "Lookr like in the morning wil call u wen i wake"

That came courtesy of Tom Schneider, who I'm profiling for the May issue. Two things seemed apparent. One, he needs a teenager to teach him how to type text messages and two, he has spent too much time in casinos, warping his sense of time.

All kidding aside, I'm not sure he realized I'm over in CST. We talked yesterday. I had met him in Tunica in January and finally got around to calling him for the interview. Procastination = my friend. Nice guy that Schneider, even if he did wake me up.
