This is a Monday?

It just can't be... a Monday, really?  No, the statement doesn't suggest that I've "lost time" in some drunken binge or other.  Although I could totally back that up.  But the reason is, so far this has been a great Monday, and we all know my typical loathing for the beginning of the week.  Now, I was off work today (gotta love the AWS day) but I have a sense of accomplishment.  I got up, hopped out of bed and went for a run from the house to Fort Boreman Park and back again.  I didn't even pause (long) to enjoy the view from the overlook, I was enjoying the run so much.  It was under an hour's run, and it felt good.  I probably still look a bit like a Penguin Runner but hey there's a whole bunch of us out there.  Mock us if you will as you drive by in your shiny cars, and point.  But this is about me... I feel better for having starting my running regimen up again and then further coupling it with some weight training.  It makes the poker games and copious amounts of Miller Lite I indulge in from time-to-time feel a little less bad.

I got a text from Uncle June, asking if I could take care of getting posters made up for the next concert event at the Eagles, featuring Black Stone Cherry  and local favorite JINX'D.  Surprisingly, that was a QUICK errand to run!  Went to Sir Speedy and got fantastic service... okay she was a brunette.  : P  (i kidding big red, i kidding!)  Great design courtesy of JINX'D bandmember Luke!  The concert is scheduled for June 9th (Wednesday) at 8pm.  Be there people, I promise you a fantastic rockin' time! 

Getting ready to pick up Cole from school, take him to the dentist, and then later to his baseball game.  The day seems to have had purpose and I've enjoyed it.  Monday is throwing me for loop here folks.  Maybe it's been my attitude all along???  Nah, it couldn't be that.  Anyway, I hope your day is going along smoothly too.

Eagles Poker Tournament TONIGHT!

Don't forget folk and folkette, that tonight is the Eagles Poker Tournament. Registration begins at 6:00pm, and cards get in the air at roughly 7:00pm. $25 gets you in the game. Uncle June forecasts attendance to be VERY high tonight (yeah, he's got crazy mad prediction skills!) So, don't be late!!! If like me, you find yourself "felted" early, don't get all dejected because JINX'D is playing tonight, and they ALWAYS put on a fantastic show for us. Songs sure to be sung, will be "I hate my life..." and the EVER popular "Crazy Bitch!" Hmmm, there's a telling statement in there somewhere, I just know it.

The work day is nearly over for me. I have to make a quick run by the high school to pick up Whit's assignments that she's missed while oinkin' it up with the FLU. So not only has she been sick, and dealing with my smart alec remarks, now she gets to do school work over the weekend. Yes, baby girl, daddy gives... because he loves! : P

I'll see Y'ALL tonight.

Night at the Eagles and more weekend

Last night was a fun night of merrymaking at the Eagles along with the Brothers. As usual the alcohol was flowing. The band JINX'D put on a great show. They really packed in the crowd and filled the dance floor. Great performance guys.

This morning Cole and I finally got around to watching WrestleMania 24. Yes, the boy is absolutely ate up with the WWE! He sat and played with his action figures in his new Steel Cage Ring. : ) I suppose there are worse things he could be doing. Now we're getting ready to head out the door and go to the mall to see Superhero Movie.

I wanted to mention that I did play in the PokerSpace Walker Poker freeroll today and donked off my early chip stack. Basically two hands did me in AKs, vs QQ. I just didn't hit. Then later AQos, and although the flop gave me straight and flush draws neither materialized. against my opponent who paired his Jack. Oh well, I knew I'd never be able to stay and finish it. My fascination with tournament play has begun to wither. Although they are fun from time to time.

Well the time is here... we gotta go.
