I'm ten of the most boring people I know
Now spouse's back x-ray apparently says she has a swollen disk which is pinching a nerve. Nice.
New issue of Games Magazine today. Mmmmmmm...more Paint by Numbers puzzles to consume.
Also bought a new trivia fodder book "Stuff You Should Have Learned at School", on sale, so it should be interesting to see what I've either forgotten, or haven't formed into a question yet.
Cubs need to get more run support. Demps pitched a great game, but committed the sin of giving up a run. All we needed was two runs to win, but we could only manage one, and lost in 13. *sigh* Hopefully the Twins and Wrigley will provide the spark our bats need.
A guy came to our door today, trying to sell us various forms of meats--the same type that sell Omaha Steaks. That alone got Spouse's attention. We got about 10 12-oz steaks, a box of chicken tenders for #2 son (who later said they were 'way better than anything we get in a stor), a box of 90% lean Angus burgers, some chicken breasts, some seasoned and some not...all for $140. The guy seemed on the up-and-up, and makes the trip through our neck of the woods every couple of months during the summer, and just over-ordered this month. We'll have to break out the hibachi and cook out more often, I guess.
Played blackjack for the first time in a while, and I was doing well, until this idiot came along. I split a pair of threes against a seven, and got a double-down 20 and an 18. The idiot next to me waves off on a 14. Dealer revels a 5, giving her 12, and then draws a 9 to make 21. If the idiot next to me had hit, like he was supposed to, he would have lost anyway, but it would have made me win. I'll say it yet again: basic strategy--learn it or stay the hell away from my table.
Okay, to bed.
