Let's see. This weekend, there was golf, Greeks, ghettos, poker, graduations, more poker, Phillies, Father's Day, cheesesteaks, beer, more beer, Switsky's "don't be a father" manifesto, my full house on the turn that got beat by a better full house on the river (a 2 in 40 chance), my 6/7 diamonds all-in with a 7-5-3 (the 5 and 3 were diamonds) flop, only to get called by a 7 with a higher kicker, hitting a 4 on the turn, giving me approximately 87 outs to get a straight or flush or straight flush, but falling short and going home in 3rd. Which is still way better than I did against the Greeks. Those motherfucker Greek magic bullshit bastards. But I digress. Long story short, I had no time to post again this weekend, so you're getting a little music today and probably much of the week. On the bright side, I can finally walk without a limp after the Thursday doubleheader in softball followed by 18 holes of golf that left my increasingly seriously injured left knee in bad shape. I may even try to run today.

and if there was a 4 on the turn, you'd have had a straight. Someone wasn't happy about the stay single don't have kids manifesto.

Pleease, a SOFTball double header followed by a round of golf (with a cart, I assume) on a bad knee? Cry me a f-ing river. Try having a heart attack and an epileptic seizure and then hiking ten miles uphill in the middle of the jersey woods with a pack on your back in 90 degree weather. Boo F-ing Hoo.

Yeah! Or playing two poker tournaments on-line at the same time, all on a non-flat screen monitor while eating honey roasted peanuts watching the US Open. That was a much harder course than the one you played, Bill.

A non-flat screen monitor? Those things still exist?

You forget, I also had to deal with Jan coaching the softball team to inglorious defeat. That takes a lot out of you.

I take back everything I said above. That does sound painful.
