The moon is in my line of vision the last few nights as she comes up over the salt cedars that ring the shed.  I have no idea why I have such a fascination with the moon.  Maybe the night owl part of me or the evil side that likes the cover of darkness…who the hell knows?

This picture was night before last, just before it got dark, the salt cedars are the lace in the bottom part of the picture:

And tonight, as the darkness slid across the sky, the moon was there again, rising over the horizon, sending that wonderful, soft light that casts shadows everywhere.

Saturday night was spent with some of the gals I worked with at Bellagio and The Mirage over the years.  It was a lot of fun, lots of memories and gabbing, but mostly grazing.  It’s amazing how much food there was and how when food is in front of us we keep shoveling/grazing/feeding/nibbling and such.  Of course instead of hopping across town to the RV park, I was an hour and a half out from home…the downside of living in the sticks…that’s the only downside I can think of.  And the hostess of the party, she’s a beauty also:

It’s cooling off.  It’s 9:30ish p.m. and my windows are open, no air conditioner blasting out its heat beating relief, and even when I woke up this a.m. at 9:30ish, the air wasn’t on yet.  It’s turning to the perfect time of year to be outside and doing things around the yard and hiking, walking, biking.  I pulled the bike out of the shed a few nights ago and took a spin.  NICE!

Riot’s in preschool now – *WAH for me* – I haven’t had him running around the property to keep me entertained for over a week.  He doesn’t like going to school.  That makes me feel bad.  I can remember schools that I hated to go to…but then all we did was move so I started a new school every other day or so it seemed.

I lost my BR on the Chasing Chris project…started over in freerolls.  What can you do?  Play better?  I’m not sure how.  I’m never throwing away a winner.  It’s not like I watch the board and do like half the world does, “Damn!  I would have won that pot!”  I wouldn’t win any of them.  And when I do start with the best, heads-up specifically, I ain’t gonna win the pot.  I even swapped out for some Razz and amazingly, they start with 2-K-A and make a low.  If I start with A-2-3-4 I can’t make a low.  Ahhh…well.  Time changes everything, right?
