Sundaze

It’s a balmy, light wind day in the desert.  I’ve now become much more of a day person as of late and start to feel the air go out of my sails by around 11pm.  I do still remember the days of being part dracula and never looking for SandWoman Land until the sun was peeping over the mountain.  I kind of miss that now and then.  I love the night. The nice part about my schedule is I have no schedule unless I have an appointment, it’s easy to revert or change my hours as long as my brain stays in gear.  Continue reading Sundaze

Shoulda Been Here

but I couldn’t seem to get here.  Ever notice how that works?  Something keeps nagging at you and you want to take care of it but all kinds of other things pop up and get in the way and before you know, more of your life has slowly leaked off like a bad tire that refuses to give up the location of the hole and yet won’t stay filled.

Someone stole a day from me

I spent most of yesterday figuring to get here.  The day disappeared.  I don’t know who to give blame credit to for making that entire day disappear before I knew it.  Of course there’s always the wonderful slow crawling, load like molasses satellite internet connection that really makes my day speed by as I dig my fingernails into the wall, and phone calls, and emails, and work to do, and construction going on on the property right now with the gravel road bed in the back and the front area, and a run to the store, and playing a little poker on PokerStars, and then just running out of steam to head for the hay.  Maybe that’s what happened…perhaps there was no thievery at all and yet perhaps those things are the biggest thieves of all.  Leaches, time suckers that shouldn’t take so much time but do, and each seems to draw out longer than planned until there is no planning zone, it’s just over.

Let us Play!!!

Yes, there is a PokerWorks HORSE tourney on Sunday the 22nd.  Yes, I will be there!  I registered yesterday.  Any others?  I miss one Sunday and the whole thing goes to hell.   I thank you Andrew for showing and registering in my absence…see you there tomorrow.  BTW, I just checked and I’m still the only degenerate registered there – Tournament #143831886, password:  donkeys.

The Tournament I got knocked out of

when Hughes.net shut down my satellite stream to a trickle is kinda sad in a way.  I probably shouldn’t have even went back to find out where I placed but I did.  I had over 5K in chips when I went into the dead zone.  There were 1014 of us and I finished in 207th place.  Then I checked to see what my last hand was…Aces…No KIDDING!  Of course you just get auto folded out of the hands when you are sitting out.   Continue reading The Tournament I got knocked out of

I’ve been fapped or splatted or

temporarily 86’d from my internet satellite usage.  PUKE!  I had no idea that hughes.net was a such a nambi-pambi bitchwort since I never received any paperwork or terms or conditions, etc.  Last night I was playing 6 handed $11 buy-in tourney on PokerStars, lost my internet connection completely and could never reconnect.  At the same time I was trying to download a gigantically huge file to update my iPhone.  No, no bells went off.

The aftermath

I got through all the trips to Vegas and thought I was freewheeling into a relaxing kind of kicking back, work at my own pace, not have to be anywhere or do anything for awhile.  But…as life always seems to find something new…I was in a for a feel bad time.  Chalk it up to a urinary tract infection that appeared from nowhere, haven’t had one for over 35 years so it was a bit of a shocker…not to mention painful and frightening too.  Having one kidney makes me stress a bit more over anything that can affect the kidneys.  Continue reading The aftermath
