Going to my island...

I'm going to my island for the next couple of days. So everyone have a safe and happy Labor Day!

This is a view from the deck. In the tree in the center that is a bald eagle.

Another 5th place finish but....

This time it was for some cash. Took 5th in the Mookie last night. I bounced out of the Mookie when I pushed my A3 off into LJ's (and her monster stack) AK. I lost and she got revenge for crippling her earlier in the tournament. So I'm happy that I actually made some cash for my top five finish this time. But I didn't play all that well.

Betty front: All is good. I'm going to her place tonight for dinner.

Knee front: Work well. I get my stitches out tomorrow.

Poker Front: Doing better then before. But not because of good play. Can you say LUCK BOX!

A hundred years ago this...

Would have been more acceptable....

I still think random beat downs to your colleagues would get more accomplished!

Still suck at poker. As it showed in last nights Skillz game! Finished 5th in the Skillz game. For no cash!

Working from home again!

Well my fringen knee was hurting bad this morning. So I decided to stay home and work. I know that most people would relish the chance at working from home but I'm just not a big fan! There so many things that I miss when I'm not there! Plus my boss is out of town. So there is that factor. I know that she does not mind me staying home. Because I do it so rarely. But I feel it is my duty to come to work.

Anyway my knee still hurts. Going to play in the Skillz game tonight. Omaha High/Low. So this is just a donation. My Omaha game is about as good as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Sure I'm going to hit some but I will land on my ass doing so!

Post surgery... back to work

So today was my first day back to work after the surgery. I actually went in with no pain pills. Not that those pieces of shit do anything for me. So I came home early and worked from home. I'm cool with this but I would rather be at work or be at home. Not a big fan of the home office! So today there were only two of us out of six in my group. Well everyone had to come over and ask me how it went. So I have about three hours of work to do in 30 min. I tell them that I will tell them about it when I get done. I guess that is not an acceptable answer to some people. Anyway fast forward and I get my work done late. My boss has to catch a plane today. So I was late with all of my work and she had to receive it on her black berry. Now the one thing about black berries is that they don't display spreadsheets very well. So I put everything in a spreadsheet. Hope she does not catch on.

I know with all surgeries/illness it takes time to heal and get back to normal. This is not acceptable for me! My body better get in line soon. I want to do what I want to do! I know some people like to push their body but I like to push mine to the limit. Let me tell you this... My knee better start stepping it up soon or there will be hell to pay. On some related news. I have a nice little beer, nausea pill, and perky regiment going. It is working out nicely!

My people are free.. I am King again

Ding Dong the book is dead!!!!

Finally! I have finished the book. I don't think that I have been this challenged in a long time. This booked kicked my ass up and down the street. The book I'm talking about is "The Rise ok Theodore Roosevelt" by Edmund Morris. Now don't get me wrong. This is excellent book! The way that Morris brings out the minute details without boring you is great! But there were more words and phrases from the late 1800's and early 1900's then in all the books that I have read. The book is TR's life up to the point where he becomes president. I honestly didn't know much about the man before now. I mean I knew about the rough riders and San Juan Hill. But there is so much more that I didn't know about his early years. The book won the Pulitzer. Probable deservedly so. But I'm not the best judge in this area. This was the first book of three. The second book is "Theodore Rex" and the third has not been completed. I have the second book. In fact it is sitting right next to me! With Teddy's little eyes burrowing into my head. Saying read me! Read me! Do I really want to give up another 2-3 months of my life? There has got to be something more remedial around to read. Oh yes I have a copy of the Social Security reform code. Yeah that will do!

Betty front: Still great! She must be over looking my flaws. Because I know that she has seen them by now.

Knee front: All is well that can be expected.

Poker front: I suck and it shows! I have moved from A level status back to B level (my own rating)

My roommate on the other hand is a rock star! Big match today.

Until my people are free,
