it gives you wings…
Slow night at poker, only 8 guys…makes for a comfortable table. I did not win any money…not my turn I suppose.
This is not a quiet poker night…this isn’t a bridge game…hell, it’s hardly poker at all. It was at one time, a cash Texas holdem game, but it was upgraded…Some in between, then Omaha…then pineapple…then pineapple express, or donkey, a game we created which starts with 6 cards throwing 2 cards away after the flop for Omaha…
You want to see some out of control pots…give 3 people at the table a boat, one quads and 1 a straight flush… We play chase the ace and we play burn…occasionally we try something new.
Something that never changes…howling laughter late into the night that can be heard a block away…it’s a man event, a celebration, a fandango…
I ventured to last night’s celebration with the idea of keeping it low carb…mojitos with stevia…and I wasn’t go- ing to eat…
Fat man snack
Add a bowl of beanless chilli…and the train is off the tracks…
+ a bowl of pulled pork, just the meat
+ 2 pulled pork sandwiches (hey the bun is whole wheat)
+ screw this, I switch from mojitos to track suits at 50 carbs a glass, I managed 2 of those
+ a small ice cream
+ a bowl of shreddies
What? If it matters I did both practice the guitar yesterday and do some code…those were resolutions too. Wait…I went to the gym yesterday, I worked my ass off…
You see folks, the gym isn’t going to fix it. If you consume 6500 calories between 9 pm and midnight you will not be the biggest loser. I weigh in this morning at 248
I’m okay with that, I’ll be 244 again tomorrow, man weight!
Beagle is still on the diet, outside of the 10 tracksuits he had along with a few pulled pork sandwiches he managed to have an apple and some tuna at work…it’s about balance!
Used to be fat Paul sat right beside me…skinny Paul didn’t have any sandwiches and only drank 5 beers…Skinny Paul may be on to something. No gym for him, but he may be a bit smarter about the gob stuffing…
Kristers Gudlevskis stoppers
Next up…my hat is off to Gudlevskis the goal tender for Latvia. His play made for an edge of the seat hockey game yesterday.
Hopefully it some day proves the test that gets him onto NHL ice… even if just for one game.
The Latvians played a great game. from a country with a population less than Toronto!
It’s Canada vs US on Friday at noon. It will be a slow day in offices right across Canada.
So I came home after poker and thought I’d watch some TV, my wife is looking for a GPS watch so I thought I’d take a look at kijiji…and low and behold I came up with this…
Santa’s lawn mower
What is that you say? Well it’s a grass cutting machine.
Who on earth refers to this thing as a grass cutting MACHINE? Santa is my guess…the north pole doesn’t have much grass…yet…
Today I will not be going to the gym, every other day…lucky too because the legs are killing me! I’m not fool enough to leave legs out, I start every circuit with squats, might as well get it done…before the tears.
I’ll close out today with a comment regarding a man’s ability to protect himself while drinking…I will tell that Beagle did not suffer a single scratch to his hands or arms when he dove off the walking path into a stone wall. He blocked any injury to his shoulder, chest, arms or legs using his forehead, nose and mouth.
In fact the bridge of his nose, the section you’d expect to be protected between the forehead and the tip of the nose…cheese grater. Wow…
Well, at least Beagle has a shot at meeting the pope now…do the research… The Quote of the Day!!!
Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty – they merely move it from their faces into their hearts.
Martin Buxbaum
I guess from this point Beagle is all heart… lol
That’s so rotten I’ll go ahead and apologize…next time I see him… Above zero temps for the next couple of days…get out and enjoy it! Cheerio
