Back...Into the Deep End

That’s awesome. Congrats. When I was there in August I was playing blackjack, while waiting for some friends for dinner. I couldn’t lose. When they showed up I left, but our table was not ready. I returned to the blackjack table and lost my ass. I learned the hard way, never leave a hot table.

I’ve only had one ‘hot table’ experience- playing video blackjack. Had to get to a show, but it was hard to leave for sure.

Mon/Jan 1st:

Ended the year with Lung/sinus infection= last 2 weeks of no training. Some work, home project stuff…lots of sleeping+ not much eating…pretty out of shape (for me, of course).

Busy + travel this week, and wont be back in the gym until next Monday= 3 weeks off

Talk about a “fresh start”…Jeez. Onward and Upward.
