You gotta get up pretty early…

September 30, 2005

I woke up a little earlier than my “roommates” this morning, due to an annoying beeping sound. Since I couldn’t get back to sleep, I got dressed and went downstairs to play some blackjack.
I won $100 in about 45 minutes. Combined with yesterday’s poker loss, I am now “up” eleven bucks. Sweet!

June 8, 2003

I forgot to mention…
Saturday night, after the baseball game, we went out to the boats.
Now, with few exceptions, I’m not a big craps player. Blackjack is normally my game. But after winning about $40 at a table last night, I wandered over to the craps table my buddies were at. I was feeling good, so [...]
