For every good.....
Went to the ball game Tuesday with Mari and a bunch of folks from her office..... It was a lot of fun.... Got to eat hot dogs and chicken and watch the game. It was a massacre as in our team lost, but it was still fun to watch.
I got home, and was so sick.
Went to bed. Had this wonderful dream with Mari in it. We woke up late, and so we hardly got any time to spend together on it.
I got a message from a friend of mine on Messenger saying he wanted to talk to me about a potential project. I told him I'd talk to him in 10 when I got to work. On my way out the door, Mari called. Her car broke down and I needed to come get her.
I took off and got her and drove her to work. She was so happy with me for it. I told her I'd come pick her up at work that afternoon. I tried a different route. I got pulled over for 50 in a 35.
I drove her to work yesterday morning. Got to the office and she was upset because she'd volunteered to help her knight today, and she felt like she'd let him down because of her car. I told her I'd either drive her down, or she could drop me off in the morning, and take my car. She said no. But, she was still upset, so when I offered again, she agreed. She called her knight's wife and they worked out a deal where her knight would drive up here last night, and pick her up, and she would stay in the guest room.
So, I got her, got her home, and decided that if she was going to head out that evening, I'd go play poker when she was gone.
We talked about it, and I left the same time she did, making it to the game about 10 minutes late. They started at 7:30. Most every other game started at 7:00. So, I could have driven like a madman to get to their first game, or waited until the second game at a place MUCH closer. I got there, and did decent. Stayed in for a while. Then lost. I played a pickup game inbetween games, and we had a lot of fun playing around. Then I played the second game. And it was down to the last 6 out of the 34 people there, and I had the least chips. I had 4000, and Jeffrey had nearly 300,000. Combined, he had more than 5 times the rest of us. I went all-in and caught a decent hand. And won. And then I kept winning. Lost a few here and there, but eventually, won the entire game.
I was riding high, until I got back to my car. Two tickets. One for being parked in a parking zone that is open until 12:00. It's a permit area from 12:00am to 6:00am. I didn't see the signs because one was at one end of the street and one was at the other. I was in the middle. The other ticket was because I'd pulled my car in facing the opposing direction. Apparently, despite it being legal EVERYWHERE ELSE IN THE FREAKING CITY, it's illegal there.
