Carnival Time

I finished up a light night of Poker late last night (3:30 a.m) and crashed after setting 3 alarm clocks to wake up for my son's baseball parade which he was obviously psyched about. Well we get outside at 8 a.m. and it's 35 degrees. WTF! The weather is one of the reasons why I live in Texas and 35 is way too cold to do anything outside. Furthermore, we had to park a mile down the road and take shuttle buses to the field b/c of no parking at baseball fields. There were over 1000 kids at this opening day parade for the new season. Jeff Kent was on hand and his 4 kids are playing in the league. I wouldn't say Kent was a favorite player of mine but I definitely like the way he put his family before the game and the way he always handled himself honorably on the diamond. Grammy award winner Rick Trevino was there for the national anthem and was introduced as Lee Trevino which was kinda funny.

After the parade there was a skills competition where my boy fired it 48 mph and I have no idea if that is good or not but he's having fun and that is all that matters. I got an invite to go to Hugh Hefner's bday party in Vegas at the Playboy Club and stay in a suite next to the Bunny Hut on the top floor but it's on Saturday and so are my son's games. I am going to try and do both but my boy comes before da bunnies.

Poker has sucked for the last 24 hrs but that is just the way it goes. I got 7th in a super turbo where I shipped ATh over a raise 5 handed and lost a huge stack when he woke up with QQ and I hated the shove after I did it. Usually it's a standard shove but I had a note that this player was uber tight and I neglected to use my notes. Hopefully I go deep & win something on Sunday and all is good.

Go Sooners tomorrow vs UNC Get your Griffin on!!!!!!
