Life is good. Still not playing a ton of poker but I'm not very unhappy with that. I just don't have enough time with this work schedule to grind out 20k hands a month. Well, technically I do but I like to have a life outside of poker and work so that comes first.

This past weekend was great. Friday Jess and I had a little date night since she had the night off which is rare nowadays. We went out for some dinner and drinks, got a good bottle of wine that we both enjoyed. We've been pretty hit or miss on selecting wine lately and a few days ago I stocked up my wine collection with the 3 or 4 kinds we really enjoy that we can find around town. My dad got me a wine rack that fits perfectly in this little storage space I had. If you saw one of my first blogs on leggo when I moved into my new place I had the picture below up. The area in the red box is what I'm going to be working on. I moved up the bottom shelf one rung up so it could fit the wine rack that is sort of honeycomb shaped with circle spots for the bottles. My quick MS paint is about as good as you'll get from me. Above that is the other shelf I moved to the top run and I want to cut out spaces so I can use that shelf to hang wine bottles upside down and slide them in and out of the top area. This will be my next project and probably will take awhile to get done unless I get a bunch of time over a weekend.



Saturday Jess had to work so I hung out with some friends. A few of them were playing in their band at a bar in Grand Rapids so I decided to tag along. Earlier in the day, we were having a lunch and some drinks downtown and the bar tender was telling us about this drunken kickball he and a bunch of friends were putting on. He gave us the invite and we got all the band equipment packed up early and headed to the baseball field to meet some new people and try out drunken kickball. Apparently we didn't get the message, but everyone was suppose to be dressed up funny and wacky...not really sure what that has to do with drinking or kickball but we were the odd ones out wearing normal clothes. Everyone was really cool and the game was a blast. The rules I remember were you always had to have a drink in your hand. Couldn't catch or throw the ball without a beer in your hand. Had to kick with your opposite foot (hard sober, much harder drunk). There was a cooler at 2nd and you had to chug while you were on that base. There were some other rules I don't remember but long story short, it was really fun. My first time out in the field (obv picked to play second right next to the cooler) I got a triple play all by myself. Caught a pop up and two runners took off wihout tagging up so I tapped them out all with a bud light in my left hand. I think I'm going pro.

We left early and headed up to GR to some dive bar where the band played. Wasn't really that good of a time. My ex girlfriend was in town and was nice enough to drive up to hang out for a bit and rescue me as I would of had to wait for the band to get done before coming back to Kalamazoo. Fortunately, Kristy drove up and had a few beers before we rolled back to Kalamazoo. I know she reads this blog so I guess I should give her a shout out. Her and her fiance just got engaged so congratulations....on making me feel old as shit JK, I'm pretty happy for her and hope it works out and it was really nice seeing her. We got back and had a few drinks around town. Jess got off work and actually hung out with Kristy and I which was a little akward but we all had a good time. Jess and I stayed out until like 5:30am drinking at her place before I couldn't stay awake anymore and had to drag her home.

Sunday we grabbed some breakfest with a bunch of friends and headed over to South Haven. It was nice out and we took the 45 minute drive west to Lake Michigan to the little beach town that is basically dead 9 months out of the year but the spot to be around here for the summer months. I'll def be going back to South Haven and try to get some pictures for the blog, it's always a good time.


As far as poker goes, Matt wants some more PLO videos so I'm going to be working on those. I apologize for those sending me PMs through 2p2 and leggo. I don't have time to coach and would feel bad as I don't think I could give 100% at this time so in the meantime I'd be happy to rec some coaches and I basically give FREE coaching out in the forums so if you don't want to shed $200 an hour on coaching, you can post in the Leggo PLO forum and probably get some great advice for free.

Hope everyone is crushing the games and enjoying their summer.
