Rearviewmirror

One of the best Pearl Jam songs sums up my feelings right now...glad to have the last couple of weeks in my Rearviewmirror (not sure that Eddie Veddor was talking about working too much but whatever). Put in an insane number of hours both at Colgate and on a 2nd project in the evenings but now (hopefully) the worst is behind me. This week should be back to being relatively normal.

By Friday night I was completely exhausted but really felt like some relaxation time was necessary so went out and played poker with some friends. My head was only 1/2 in the game and lost some money as a result, but nothing too crazy. Didn't play very well, got no hands worth speaking of but did figure out a couple of trends in the play of the others at the table. Hopefully I get a chance to exploit these at a future session where I am not so tired.

Watched some ODI and T20 cricket over the weekend as well. We are certainly playing well in these games but the oppo is really helping us out as well. We should be able to piece together a good side for the upcoming World Cups, will be interested in seeing how the selectors piece everything together. Quite sad in a way watching just how far the West Indies have fallen. Not only are they not great cricketers but they don't seem to be trying particularly hard as well. A real shame for a once great Test country.

Last night managed to get a great night's sleep however so I feel quite good this morning. Mindy informed me that Angus had a terrible night last night...I guess I blasted straight through it all. When I am tired like that I am pretty much like a bear hibernating - either that, or I sleep walk.

On other matters, we have both resolved to get on an "eating better" kick. We will see how well that goes.
