Roll out!

Another successful night of Texas hold 'em!

Jeff had a pretty good turn out too - the pot was up to $46 or something, I think we had about 12 people playing? Not sure, all I know is that "Dos Equis" turned into "Muchos Equis" if you know what I mean. Apparently I have skill in poker that I didn't know existed. It's not the type of skill that will make me rich, but it's enough to keep me ahead. Came home this week in second place once again, with $14 more than I started with. Which means that I am currently around $24 ahead. I think I just lack the patience to battle it out for first place. Ok, so I thought Chris was bluffing and took a silly risk... but I really wanted it to be over sooner than later. Really. <wink>

That's a lot of money in my eyes. That's the difference between drinking $1.50 Labatts only during Wings games, or a big fat Guiness whenever I please. It's the difference between seeing a new movie or whipping out Slapshot for the 20th time. It's more than a tank of gas for my little Focus. And I'm gonna need that gas money... Since I am going to Chicago tomorrow (today? gee, it's almost 3am. woops.)!!!

Kirk and Heather are already there visiting Brynn and Casey, and I really would like to see them so this is my best chance to go out and visit. I haven't been to Chicago in a few years now; not since Tara and I tore up the town for my family reunion, running around the streets of the Windy City during a rain shower in cute little tanktops and shorts! Although I'll have less than 24 hrs to play with them, it's well worth the drive!

Hopefully I'll have some good stories to post on here when I get back. :)
