“Uh-oh. Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays.” Nah…Thursdays. While walking out to my truck this morning, I noticed the front right tire was a little low.  No biggie…I swung into a gas station, added some air and then dropped off a couple of the kiddos at school.  School, not pool.  Big difference. [...]

I’ve put this post off long enough I guess.  It’s time to take a look at my goals for 2008 and see how turrible I did. POKER Be profitable.  CHECK – Even though I reduced the amount of online play for the 2nd half of the year, I still managed to finish the year with [...]

VinNay’s buddy Jeff had a horrible Christmas when he came home to a burned down house.  He lost everything including his cat Maurice. A friend of mine, Jeff, has had an unfortunate Christmas. His home was destroyed by a fire on Christmas morning and declared a total loss. Fortunately, he was not home at the [...]

I’ve completely neglected this blog over the last week mainly because I haven’t been in front of a computer.  No work for me this entire week but I’ve been staying busy doing other things.  I managed to get in a rare round of golf on Saturday with my dad at Falconhead Golf Club in Austin.  [...]

In about five hours from now Mrs. Mookie will walk through the front door after a 4 day jaunt to Las Vegas.  Somehow, someway I’ve managed to keep my head above water while being solely responsible for 5 of my litter of kiddos. “You’ll need to give the baby some of this prunes with apples [...]

It seems I’m posting less frequently here than days/years past.  I still throw up some recaps, profiles and stats each week but not much of anything else.  Outside of my normal suburban routine there hasn’t been much to write about.  The most exciting thing these days has been sweating whether or not I’ll have a [...]

We booked our airfare for Las Vegas this past weekend for the weekend of June 6-9th. I was unable to get away from work for the 12-15th plus we had the free rooms at Bellagio for the 6-9th. Hopefully a few more people will be able to make the first weekend so I can at [...]

“To me, old age is always fifteen years older than I am.” – – – – Bernard M. Baruch I’m moving slow today after a weekend full of activities including a celebration of another year alive. Thirty-five years old on Saturday and even though I’ve always felt younger than my actual age, time is starting [...]

Contrary to popular belief, I have not been arrested and at least 6 of my 401 children are still with me. As a matter of fact one of my daughter’s turned 3 today and I kissed her goodbye as I left for work. Don’t believe everything you read…damn media. What a game last night! Since [...]

Back to work this week after taking the last week and a half off to help out with the new mini-Mook. I’ve said it a millions times before but I gotta say it again…my wife works a 1,000 times harder than I do each day. I’ve felt like I’m on vacation this week at work. [...]
