Lately I’ve been kicking around the word and world of EXPECTATION and believe it or not, everything we do fits right into that little orb of insanity. Everything we do is based on expectation. I’ve gleaned valuable insight into relationships and expectation just from my own adventures and experiencing my sons’ life situations; include a multitude of friends and relatives also. A relationship is one that you go beyond “Hi, How you doing?” as you walk on by. Continue reading Expectation →

The best of all worlds, I’m hanging out at the old homestead (my oldhouse where my sons now live), and little miss, 12 day old, cutie pie is asleep on the couch right next to me, the only glitch is I missed the damned free roll on Duplicate Poker to the PokerNews Cup by 17 minutes. KEE-RIST! Continue reading Sunday’s plan going as planned →

Tonight I’m going to meet Ryan and Tami for a buffet and for dessert we’re diving into live poker. I hope we find a tournament with a small buy-in, if not, I’ll play limit or small blind NLH with them. Here’s hoping we win. I don’t need to hope that we will have a good time in each other’s company, we will. The best parts of life are topped off with a cup of good friendship. *glasses clink*

Dan and I started out with a plan this a.m. It semi worked. Las Vegas is overtaking the desert and all of my old favorite haunts for 4X off road and some hiking spots, are disappearing as fast as the sun sets on the horizon. It’s sickening – and scary. Where will it all end? And what will happen to that piece of red sandstone that I used to climb around over and down after I 4X’d up about five miles? Continue reading 4X – Little Red Rock →

I have a list of things running through my head. It’s a list composed by me and I plan to lay it out. Continue reading The Quiz →

Those two girls came through like true champions yesterday. Mom did her part superbly and baby Katelyn celebrated her day of birth, debuting in at 6 pounds 6 ounces, 19 inches long, and upheld the world standard that babies are the coolest things on Earth. Continue reading Mom’s fine, Baby’s finer →

I will start early, about 5 a.m. or so, and head North to Hyman Place. I’m picking up the mother of my new granddaughter to be. A trip to the hospital – induced labor – and hopefully by noon there will be a sweet little angel lying snuggled next to mom. I can hardly wait. I get the best part, picture taking, support, and probably a few tears – because I’m like that. So congrats are due…to me of course. Congratulations, Granny!

I won’t be heading towards the Bahamas this year as previously planned. I really don’t have any feeling about it one way or the other. I can say I’m happy to miss the hurricane season. I can also say this first year could be a total, deal ’til you drop, hectic little venture. But it could also be a lot of fun and plenty of E/O’s. Oh well. I just have to wait to hear it from people that got to go. Continue reading No Turks & Caicos for me →
