Four not five card poker. DOH!

Today, being the day after the Super Bowl, I figured I would wake up early one more time to listen to Andy Savage at six o'clock AM to hear from my homies on the ShortBus. Andy was sick and did not show up so it was only Steve and Jodie doing the show. I crawled out of bed in a stuper being tired myself.

I went outside. Things were all frosted up. I started my truck to get the windows defrosted and let Amber go potty. My water bottle in my truck was nearly empty and I had some time to kill as my windows were getting defrosted. I went into the house and slipped on the steps falling down. I caught myself with my hands before actually hitting the ground. But I hurt my wrist in the process.

Work was the same 'ol-same 'ol. I got another laptop to add to my pile of non-working laptops. Actually one has a bad mother board, one has a bad DVD, and two have no batteries. I figure I can pull the DVD out of the one with the bad MoBo and put it into the other one and have two working laptops. Leaving one for parts.

I talked to Dave on the way home. We planned on going out when he got off work sometime around ten o'clock PM. I also talked to Joe. He reminded me about turning in my packet to be mailed back to him. I told him I was going to start work on the website.

I got home and dinner was getting served as I walked in the door. It was meatloaf. I like meatloaf. It is very good stuff. I had a couple pieces of that before going up stairs to get on the computer and watch TV. I wanted to watch a couple shows that my parents did not want to watch.

I set my VCR to record CSI:Miami. Dave called me shortly after that saying he got off work and was heading to the casino. I drove down there to meet him. He was in the restaurant eating. I went inside and noticed he had a new haircut. It looks very nice on him. I complimented him on that then went into the story about the ShortBus trip. He thought the part about the Elvis impersonation was funny as heck. He said the part about Elvis being on the radio at the end of the trip was too ironic to be believable. He was laughing pretty hard.

It took a fair amount of time to tell him the whole thing. When it was done we decided to go to Billie's casino. The one we were at had the game we wanted to play shut down. At Billie's we played four card poker. Anytime a song came on he would say "have you heard Elvis' version of this song?" Then he would laugh. One of the songs was "I'm too sexy."

I got my cards and I would see that I only had four cards to a straight and I was get mad about how close I was and I would throw them away. After a little while of seeing that happen I got mad and said, look at my luck. I threw the cards face up in front of me. I said, this is just like my night, always one card off the straight. Then the dealer and Dave were saying, no that is a straight. I said, no it is not. That is a Five-Six-Seven-Eight, and this card is a Queen. They said it is four card poker. You only need four cards for a straight. I felt sick. I threw some winners. Big winners away.

This is not my month! Well I still have a twenty-seven inch TV I get to pick up from K-Rock.
