Life, Liberty...

And the pursuit of power. Well, at least in the electrical sense. On Friday night the power was out in my area for 2 hours. I was literally sitting alone in the dark. (My car was in the garage which opened by an electric motor.) So that was fun.

But the power managed to come back in time for me to attend a poker game that night. I actually got a 4 of a kind that night! (J, in my hand + 3 Jacks on the board.) Yeah, wow. :) I also had another memorable hand where I flopped the nut full house (pair of aces in the hole, A99 flop). So yeah, I had racked up a very large stack of chips.

In spite of all of that, I stand to be very, very poor when August arrives. I've got 2 friends who have bachelor parties in Vegas, car insurance for the year to pay, and then another group of friends just decided to go on a 3 day cruise in July. And that's expensive. I mean, they chose a very expensive time to go on this adventure. But oh well, I'm young now, and while I hate to see my savings get eaten into, what is money for if not to be enjoyed? haha. *sigh*
