Yes, I failed to show for a Jury Summons!  *slaps face*  Damn it!  Now I’ve been served with an Order to Show Cause and the big day is tomorrow.  Yippee!  I really did forget all about it, it was the morning following the night I went into Vegas to meet Tony G at the Venetian.  So…

The drip watering system is in, everything is running off of a garden hose timer (doncha love it), and there’s still some trench filling to be done but all in all, MOI is one happy kid with the way it turned out.  No more dragging those frigging hoses around and spending an hour watering.  My Banks roses are getting ready to bloom – they are growing along the block wall…that is if the wind doesn’t rip them out of their bed sometime in the night.  Yes, it’s a howler again.

I’m expecting a huge poker rush soon.  A resurrection of poker as a beatable game in my thoughts – it’s lurking there somewhere on the horizon – has been spinning back and forth through my head most of the day.  I played Full Tilt Poker yesterday, a $5.50 rebuy NLH tourney and felt quite confident when I picked up K-K and raised about 4 times the BB.  Two callers and a flop of Q-little-little and one of them bet at me, around $800 I believe.  I raised it all-in (somewhere around 4k) and one folded, the original better did the ‘time’ thing, and then called.  Hello A-Q off.  Yes, as is usual, a Queen came on the river.  It’s a perplexity to me.  But that brings me to thinking that somewhere out in the chaos of the universe, the tide is about to turn and I should book several wins in a row.  Am I insane?  Of course!!!  How could I continue playing through the frustration if I wasn’t?

For now, I go to sleep and think good thoughts that the Judge excusing me permanently from ever being summoned for Jury Duty again.  Then, when that is done, I will once again attempt to prove the poker cycle is flawed as I beat myself to death trying to win a tournament.
