Family Time

Last night we went to my friend Shelly's house for some fun family time. Of course, we played poker. You know there were cards, chips and money there so we just had to!
Out of 23 people playing, I came in 3rd!! Won myself $40 for our Disneyland fund.
Can't tell you how many kids were there but had to be around 100. So I exaggerate! But it sure sounded like 100.
Garrett did well, too. He lost in the 5th round but filled-in for a gent that had to leave early. Garrett ended up in 2nd place and split a $70 pot.
What a great night!

Peace.

Reading and Writing

Reading:
Well, I've finished two books for this year - "Eclipse" and "New Moon" by Stephenie Meyer.
I loved them! Predicitable but loved them!

Writing:
I just got my final assignment back and the first three chapters of my book are complete. That is, until an editor tells me to change them! Now it's time to write the remaining chapters and see where this story is going. Yes, I have an idea but that doesnt' mean that's where it will end up!

Peace.

Darth Vader

Garrett and I are watching the results of the New Hampshire Primary and we just heard the dumbest thing ever to come out of a reporter's mouth.

She was talking about John McCain winning the 2000 New Hampshire Primary and there was confetti flying and the most profound image was a McCain holding "a Darth Vader stick."

Sometimes I am so embarrassed to have a Journalism degree.

And this lady was on CNN - a somewhat respectable channel...

...and the elections are just beginning.

Save us.

Peace.
