My name is Gary and I have a problem...
...I don't know how to walk away from a poker table when I am ahead. Despite the heavy snowstorm, KottenBallz drove Hawkeye and I to Foxwoods for a day full of poker. I wanted to see if my last trip was a fluke or not. It was a pretty long drive because of the weather, but we eventually made it. I found it funny that one person at my table was a teacher enjoying a snow day. If I were a teacher, I wouldn't have to take a vacation day to hit the casino on a weekday. I'd just need to hope for snow. Maybe I should change careers...
After a few hours, I managed to grind out a $200 profit. However, I got greedy. Instead of calling it a day, I kept playing for several more hours. Slowly, I pissed away my hard-earned winnings and then I pissed away some more. Right now I'm sure Mouse is freaking out that her night of free drinks has been lost. No worries, I quit when I was down $66, which put me up $1 if you count the poker night with my friends last night. Drinks are still on me! :)
I just realized today that I am going to be back in MI in just over one week. Other than telling all my friends that I was going to be around to see them, I have made no concrete plans. Given that I will not have a car for the week, I should probably get moving on that. I think this will be a good weekend to finalize my plans. Mpls Ju and Mouse, what day do you want to hit the bars?
My weekend is looking a little slow. It's Friday night and I'm sitting in my apartment watching a 'That 70s Show' marathon. After a day at the casino, I felt like just being a vegetable at home for the rest of the night. I have fun plans during tomorrow afternoon, but nothing special the rest of the weekend. Anyone else up to something fun? If so, please comment so that I can live through you for the weekend.

ummm... I think the bigger problem is that you took a VACATION day and drove through a SNOW STORM to spend an ENTIRE DAY at the casino. (I think I just don't really get it because I refuse to learn how to play poker. I don't really think you have a problem)
And no, I wasn't worried. Didn't you read the comment I left the other day?
I have a dentist appt. on the morning of the 22nd, so the 21st is out. I suggested going out on the 22nd on our blog so that I wouldn't have to be hung over on Christmas Eve. I think Ju has a hair appt. on the 23rd though, so we can adjust if we need to. I will probably also be at the Library (a bar) watching the Bengals v. Lions game on Sunday.
Today, I woke up at 7:12, and I am now going to eat breakfast before I head over to the library (the one with books) to pound out some of this paper. Then I will come home and go run 6 miles. Then I will write more paper. I don't think you want to live through me this weekend, sorry.
