Yesterday morning about 10:30, I went on my Mountain Dew run to Walgreens.\u00a0 It was raining cats and dogs, and even though Walgreens is only a quarter block from my front door, I was soaked.<\/p>\n
After that I fired up PokerStars and started feeding my addiction.\u00a0 I tried single tables, multiple tables at the same time, Sit’n’Go tournaments, and Double-or-Nothing tournaments (the most boring things ever – 10 players, first 5 to lose get nothing, the other 5 are declared the winners and double their money).\u00a0 I kept thinking about going out, but every time I said to myself, “One more game.”<\/p>\n
Finally, at 1 AM, I decided it was time to go have a beer.\u00a0 I put clothes on, loaded up my camera, my iPhone, pens and keys in my pockets… but where was my wallet?\u00a0 It wasn’t on my kitchen counter where I usually leave it.\u00a0 I ran to my bedroom and checked all my jeans and shorts pockets.\u00a0 No wallet.\u00a0 “I must have left it at Walgreens,” I thought, “or worse, it fell out of my pocket as I ran home in the rain this morning.”\u00a0 I started frantically thinking about the things I would have to do.<\/p>\n
Made me think… maybe this would be a good public service announcement for my readers… if you lost your wallet, would you know what to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n Just something to think about… better to be prepared.<\/p>\n After about 20 minutes, I remembered that I hadn’t folded the shorts I wore to Walgreens yesterday morning and put them away… they were soaking wet, so I hung them over a chair to dry.\u00a0 I pulled the now-dry shorts off the chair and checked the back pocket… and there was my wallet.\u00a0 Crisis averted.<\/p>\n Heading to brunch shortly.\u00a0 I’ve been a hermit too much this past week.\u00a0 No poker today.<\/p>\n Coming later today – a post about a local artist who is blogging, selling her artwork, and taking orders for custom jobs.\u00a0 She’s also selling an engagement ring and wedding band, and it could be a good deal for someone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday morning about 10:30, I went on my Mountain Dew run to Walgreens.\u00a0 It was raining cats and dogs, and even though Walgreens is only a quarter block from my front door, I was soaked.
