Poker, Beer, Cricket, Picnic, Beer

This last weekend had all the necessary ingredients for a good and busy time.

Friday night was poker night. 6 friends gathered together for a night of beer drinking and holdem tournaments. We played 4 tournaments and I managed one first and one second place finish. It was a lot of fun. Next on the agenda is trying to plan a trip to Atlantic City for more of the same.

Arriving home at 3:30 gave me about 4 hours sleep before the kids woke up. I also received a call from Daniel, a longtime friend who recently was married. It was good to hear everything went well for them. Cricket was the next item on the agenda, a good game which we lost by 1 run, in the baking sun. Always difficult to get so close and lose but it was exciting watching at the end.

Sunday was off to a picnic with a few friends. This was another enjoyable afternoon in the park with the kids, some beer and some good food. The weather could not have been better for this. The kids had a great time running around and it was a nice way to end the weekend.
