Well, we finally got the Tree up and running. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. We are well into December and just nine days away from leaving for San Francisco. I have arranged to meet up with my buddy Kurt upon arrival.
It's been a few years since we've last met up. That night ended with me throwing up on his carpet after a dive bar marathon. I would call this a fairly unprecedented event as that marked only the third time I have thrown up as a result of alcohol consumption. The first was my very first time drinking the hard stuff. Naive I was. No problem. Lesson learned.
The second time was in college during a drinking game. The Century Club. One shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes. I puked on #93 and made it back in time to record #94 and to finish. The all liquid make-up of that one really helped my turn-around-time in the can.
So that's once every five years of legalized drinking. I'm not going to lie, there have been close calls. Deep breaths. Mouth pukes. But nothing else that would be considered an eruption or a breaking of the seal. I'll stand by that record thank you very much.
The schedule beyond that in California will be hectic to start. My girlfriend and I will be attending her staff party. We went last year and everything was great. People, food, booze. Just perfect. Then there will be last minute shopping for the nieces and nephews, and adult night out and hopefully we are going to the Black Hole to see the Raiders vs the Texans on the 21st. I'm going to bring the golf shoes just in case :)
This past weekend was nice. Friday night started slow with me losing a bit on the poker tables. It's really just a matter of focus which seems to come and go. Ah well. A new year with new goals is on the way. Saturday was my staff Christmas party which was held at Dave and Busters here in Toronto (Vaughn). Whatever. Good times were had by all. It's amazing how a bunch of drinks followed by some happy sticks can affect your Skee Ball game. And I'm talking positively. We walked out of the prize shop with a nice looking, but shitty sucker.
On Sunday I had an opportunity to have a real throwback proper Sunday. Read long enough and you'll find I take this very seriously. In no official order it includes bowling, coffee, newspaper, bowling, fantasy team adjustment and random trade offers (hockey, football), finalizing the work pool picks, bowling, making "mrjackstraws bet of the week" on Sports Interaction all the while playing a low level tournament on Party Poker. The afternoon usually consists of football/sports on the HD, pub style snacks, bowling, a couple of beverages and some crosswords. I like to finish that off with a movie with the little lady. This week it was ELF on the good old CBC. Her pick.
