A Loose Tooth III

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Well, it finally happened. I wasn't sure this day would ever come. On Wednesday, my daughter's finally lost her first tooth! It took a really, really long time for it to fall out. I first wrote about her loose tooth in February. February?!? That was 5 months ago. I even ...

A Fatherly Faux Pas

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Oooo...I screwed up. Last Monday, I took the day off. My wife had jury duty. My daughter and I had dentist appointments. It was also the first day of cheerleading camp. I had to drop her off at 9am and pick her up at 1pm. No big deal. Pretty easy, ...

That Was A Close One

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

In the early evening a couple of nights ago (it was still light out), I was driving home from work. I took a different way than I normally do and found myself on a two-lane road. There was a traffic light by a high school that was blinking yellow because ...

Poker: Skill + Luck = Success

Monday, July 10th, 2006

I had been in a bit of a poker slump lately. I play in a quasi-monthly home game with my co-workers. It seemed that about for about a year, I was always cashing. Whether in the main game or a side game after the main game broke up, I always ...
