Well, I think our Texas Hold 'em poker night will become a monthly male bonding, take your money, eat chips, kid each other night out with the "boys".
We met at Jim Hill's home last night and played with a new set of 11.5 gram clay poker chips which Paul had purchased (along with its own stainless steel carrying case) from Costco. Taking a short time out to watch the Angels hold off Texas in the bottom of the ninth with bases loaded and no outs and win 5 to 3, we played until 11. Carolyn called around 10 pm to tell me that the electricity was out in our neighborhood for the second night in a row, but with candles burning and my luck holding, I convinced her she would be OK until I got home. She is now worried that I like poker more than I love her (totally untrue), but thankfully the lights came back on around twenty minutes later and before I got home.
The cards were good to me for the second time (along with a new found skill - ha!) and I came home with $34 more than I left with. So I think I garnered some grace from Carolyn. Good thing I didn't lose!
