Tuesday already

So here it is Tuesday already. The weekend was a blur thanks largely in part to the Tri-C All-Stars Baseball Tournament. No, our boys didn't take down the top spot, but we didn't think 4th place was too shabby! They played their hearts out. The last game, to determine 3rd or 4th, could have gone either way, but in the end the Mineral Wells team, took us down. We played Thursday night, off Friday (so Big Red and I headed over to the Yanok's to play poker,) then came home around 3:00am . We got up Saturday bright and early, and I felt okay, and ready for anything, but I was kinda wrong. Not only did we have to be there for 3 ballgames, but I ended up umping 2 games as well. Let's just say that I really needed more fluids and a lot more sun block. My face and neck are continuing to peel now. We were a little worried that there would be another tournament this weekend which wouldn't let us play cards, but all's well that ends well.

I just finished moving my workstation from the 1st floor to the 2nd floor. All the junk that was downstairs is now upstairs, but I have noticed that I do have a substantial amount of more room. I have not shaken the sleepiness off however, and I continue to be sluggish.

No it's not as big as last year...but that is due largely to the recent rash of legislation barring U.S. players from gaming. But we'll see what th future holds.

I'm making a lot of type o's here because I'm so tired, so I'll wrap this up.
