so, once again, from the beginning

hey, happy father’s day everyone. i got a hug from the teenage girl child who told me she loves me before she headed out on a week vacation with a friend’s family. good start to it all in my book.

DRUMS – been playing pretty much twice a week between band practices and gigs. that’s a lot more than same time last year. none of the playing was practicing the instrument though, it’s been memorizing songs or playing performances. as of last night i thought, “screw it, i’m going to work on X or Y aspect of my game this week”. so i’ll be plugging in the metronome tonight and getting some “drum calisthenics” in.

the rock band just finished the auditions for 2nd guitar spot. now, we need a stinking name. lol.

CARDS - it’s been sooo long since i played cards that i think it’s starting over from the start. last night i got a couple of hundred hands in after work. i thought i must’ve been playing 26/20 while i was playing. it turns out i went 15/11 over 200 hands.

so here’s the realization. i played 40 minutes or so, and ended up ahead 62bb, so over 1/2 a BI. not earth-shattering, BUT i went to showdown 25% of the time and won every single one of them. and the most i lost in a pot was 4bb. results-wise, it probably could not have been better. it just struck me that the cards couldn’t have treated me any better, and it’s still not like i was racking up BI after BI. it’s a slower moving thing than i remember.

now, watch that totally turn around next session.

i’m off to start the day, hopefully the coffee will kick in and i’ll get some giddy up in my ass.
