Welcome
Welcome to GamblingWillie.com !!
The following was written several years ago when I started my travelling and writing adventure. The full time Sweetie is now an ex-sweetie (you know how that goes) and the Dodge van is a more efficient Kia Rio, but the rest is basically the same. I write under several pen names to try to keep it all straight, at least in my mind, you’re on your own…
I am spending winters in warm places and enjoying race tracks as often as possible. The book, “Your Loved Ones, Your Self; Finding and Raising the Family Within,” finally got written and published (Infinity Publishing).
Now I am pursuing my metaphysical journey, studying the fascinating field of psychoenergetics and applying it to life. Like I said, the following was written a while ago, but most of it holds true today. I still don’t have a full time sweetheart and life partner, so my love life hasn’t improved, but my spiritual journey is ongoing.
Here is what I said when I left Maine a few years ago…
This site is for everybody and anybody who ever felt like saying, “The hell with it!”, maxing the credit cards and taking off.
That is what we are doing here. My name is Willie and I have spent many years being married, raising kids, struggling with careers and jobs. I’ve had some interesting careers like hypnotherapist, race track announcer, etc. One of my careers was gambling. But I couldn’t do it very often or as much as I wanted to. But now the kids are grown, the wife has flown and I am ready to hit the road. The phone is ringing off the wall. Business partners and employees. Willie, can we get the software done in time for a June launch? Hey boss the server crashed and we lost everything, you wouldn’t happen to have a copy of that would you? Papa my financial aid forms are due tomorrow and I forgot to fill them out can you help me? Baby I’m lonely and miss you, will you come over tonight (ooops wait a minute, that ones okay). Well anyway, you get the idea. I love each one in my family dearly but its time for a little time away. Like Jimmy Buffett said, “Time away seemed to work well for Faulkner, Time away seems to work for the kid.”
For the last 34 years I’ve been somebody’s daddy and somebody’s husband and or lover and for a lot of that time I have been somebody’s ex and a single parent. Raising my family was a wonderful adventure but to sum it all up, players, I’m fried like an onion ring and its time to take this show on the road. So fasten your seat belts, players, cause we’re gonna hit every casino and track from here to there and back again. I’ve already gambled from Prince Edward Island Canada to Margharita Island Venezuela but I missed a lot of spots between them.
I play the dogs and ponies and also blackjack. I’m not a stranger to video poker or baccarat, either. My craps education is sorely lacking but fellow players we are going to fix that soon. The only bet I know is pass or don’t pass but that’s a start, hell it answers some of the biggest questions you’ll ever be faced with!
The “Black Mariah”, my 1996 Dodge conversion van, is in the shop getting her innerds spruced up so she’ll be able to howl down the turnpike and take us any where we want to go. She has an electric bed and mood lights right out of the 70’s. With my trusty laptop and cell phone I’ll be writing about my adventures and sharing them with you right here. When I walk into a casino you’ll be right by my side. When I’m cashing tickets at the track, you’ll be in the short line with me. The only thing I ask of you is to leave all the cares and worries behind. Just ain’t no room for that stuff in Old Mariah. And don’t be afraid to leave a comment or ask a question.
