The Tide That Left and Never Came Back

Whew!! What a whirlwind the past two weeks have been. With Keith and Sam's wedding, the move, and helping out with their move, I just haven't had time to breathe. Then, after moving, you always have that period where you're trying to get everything set up how you like it and sometimes that's even more trying than the moving itself. But the good news is, all of that's behind me now, so I have a little time to breathe and I'm definitely going to enjoy this 4th of July weekend!

The wedding was an absolute blast!! The night before was out of control, as about 20 of us including Keith's dad and uncle, got wasted and stayed up till about 4:30 a.m.!! That got the weekend off to a good start, and we just kept the ball rolling after that. The wedding was nice, and the bride looked gorgeous…good work Keith. Then we got to ride in a stretch Hummer to the reception, which was freaking sweet. After dinner and the formal wedding stuff like speeches and stuff, we got to business on the dance floor…and let me tell you, I definitely have white boys disease!! Oh well, everyone was drunk, including me, so I'm not gonna worry to much about that!

Moving sucked...as you can imagine, but I did get my new 50' inch DLP HDTV hooked up. WOW…I love this thing, and it definitely was worth the money. On top of that, the new furniture is pretty kick ass as well, so I've actually got some nice things in the apartment.

I almost forgot, we (actually Kylie, but I think of it as mine too) got a dog!! It's a miniature Yorkie, and her name is Lola. She's a good dog, but we have to get her to use the bathroom outside…once that's accomplished, we should be good to go.

On the poker front, I've pretty much just treaded water. I won a couple $10 +$1 6 person tourneys on UB, so I decided I'd give the $20+$2 ones a try…after all, I used to play these on a regular basis. Well, after 4, I only cashed in one, and it was a second worth only $36. So, I'll have to move back down to the $10 ones till I win a few again. With the exception of the 1st $20 tourney, I am very happy with the way I played. If it wasn't for a guy making a full house after all the money went in to bust my nut straight (which would have guaranteed a second place finish, and a great shot at first) I'd still be playing the $20 tourneys and probably taking a crack at the $30 ones. Oh well, I know I'll get back there eventually…probably sooner than later.

Sorry this was so long, maybe now I'll have a little more time to update so it isn't as long next time. Have a great 4th of July!!
