June 25, 2023: David vs Goliath
Our first house league baseball regular season came to an end; we finished, after tiebreakers, in last place with a 3-9 record; we had lost 6 in a row. Yes, the wheels came off a bit down the stretch; the … Continued
June 24, 2023: NBA Draftless
The NBA Draft took place on Thursday, June 22; what an exciting time. Your team gets to add new talent to the roster, hoping to land the new big star. Of course, Wembanyama was the star attraction; the Spurs scooped … Continued
June 23, 2023: 2023 Vegas Bow
Another Vegas trip was in the books. Of course, the main driver for these Vegas trips nowadays is my father in law; he has been out here for a number of years at this point. Seeing him, spending time together … Continued
June 22, 2023: Late Night Poker
For the third and final night of this Vegas trip, I would find myself back in the poker room at Caesar’s. This time though, I’d have to wait. When I got there and signed up for the 1-3 no limit … Continued
June 21, 2023: Too Rich

June 16, 2023: Wake Fest
Friday marked the 6th, maybe 7th wake I have attended in the last 7-8 months; not good. This time it was a co-worker’s husband; earlier in the week it was a co-worker’s father-in-law. There’s one place that will never go … Continued
