Angela Kay, a 60-something-year-old psychic seeking Las Vegas City Council approval to do business, coyly dodged predicting the winner of a baseball pennant for one of the town's big sports gamblers, Mayor Oscar Goodman.

"Um," the mayor began Wednesday, allowing himself laughter, "who do you like to win the National League West?"

"Mayor Goodman, as soon as I get my license," Kay replied, "I'll be able to answer that."

The mayor laughed so hard he teared up, and she left the chambers as soon as the City Council approved her psychic art and science license.

So what is it, art or science?

Without aid of a crystal ball or a pointy cap affixed with stars and moons, she offered to tell my future.

Kay: You are a very disciplined person. You become unglued when things aren't in order. Is that correct?

Me: I don't know.

Kay: Every night before you go to bed, you make a to-do list for the next day.

Me: I see. (Not really.)

Kay: You need a job that's not 9 to 5. You learn as much as you can about something, then the excitement is gone and you want to move on to other adventures.

Me: Mm-hmm. (Well yeah, that's a reporter's life.)

Kay: Now, let's talk about your relationships

Me: Mm-hmm. (Got to go . I'm on deadline.)
