Fairly lazy weekend

January 6, 2008 · Filed Under Ranting 

This was a pretty low-key weekend. I don’t think I’m fully recovered after being sick last week. My energy has been totally zapped. Hopefully I’ll be back to normal in a day or two.

Saturday morning I went and played poker at Nevada Palace with a buddy. We had a last longer bet in the tournament with the loser buying lunch. I’m happy to say that I really enjoyed the lunch he bought me. Unfortunately I can’t say that I made any money in the tourney, though.

Saturday night was our monthly home poker tourney. I was only expecting to see about 10 people show up, but we ended up having 16 players. Not to shabby. Unfortunately (again) I didn’t make it in to the money in that tourney either. That doesn’t really bother me, but, the fact that I played really, really poorly does bother me a bit. There were times when I pretty much just gave up on playing for the money in the pot and didn’t stick with my normal attacking style. I’m sure if I had stuck to my normal style I would have at least done better than I ended up doing. Ahh well, there’s always next month…

This morning we woke up way too early. 5:30 to be exact. Today was the first day back with the Road Runners training group. Our buddy (and massage therapist) Dave is joining us for training, too. Today was mainly about getting signed up and just getting out for a little exercise. We ended up doing about a 40 minute walk. We jogged the last 5 minutes or so. I’m glad to be getting back out there for some exercise, but it was a little too cold and windy for my liking today. To figure out what our training schedule is going to be, we need to decide on a race to use as a target. We may use the Disney Half Marathon as our target.

After the walk we came home and took a 2 hour nap. Then, Dave came over and Chris and I both got massages. I really needed one. My back has been a bit of a mess lately and he really helped relieve the pain. While Chris was getting her massage, I slept for another 45 minutes. We then got up and had some lunch. I followed up lunch with another 2 hour nap.

This evening we were looking for something to watch on TV. Last week I Tivo’d the movie “You, Me and Dupree“, so we started watching that. After the first 5 minutes we started thinking it was bad. After 15 minutes, we had to turn it off. It was terrible and showed no signs of pulling out of the nosedive it was in. We ended up watching some old episodes of Cash Cab instead.

After Cash Cab was over, I saw that tonight was going to be the premier of the all new American Gladiator. I loved that show as a kid! I have been looking forward to watching the new one. The 2 hour premier was awesome. The new gladiators are over-the-top characters, and you can’t go wrong when one of the hosts is Hulk Hogan. The show is entertaining and I’m sure I’m going to end up watching them all.

I’m looking forward to getting to work tomorrow to see what the rest of the competitors in the Beard Off look like. I’m sure we are all going to look like we are homeless by the end of the week.
