The Ides of March
Bernie Ebbers has been convicted. I may just take the rest of the day off and have a little party. Sentencing is June 13th. I guess it’s bad Karma to wish bad things on people and I’m trying to be better about that kind of stuff so I’ll just hope he gets what he deserves. Does it count against me if I have a definite schedule of events I think he deserves? I’ve got the next 85 years planned out to the minute for him. Good thing I’m not in charge. Too bad he’ll only do a few years in a “white-collar” prison.
Off of the negativity and on to bigger and better things. The festival is fast-approaching. I’m looking forward to it. I think I’m almost prepared for it. City-Girl Teresa and I went shopping for gear. She says if she’s going to go camping on a regular basis, I’d have to buy some gear. My old tent leaked so now I have a new one, stuff like that. I’ll be out there all week, she’ll be there 2 nights. Hey, I’m not complaining. I wanted a new tent anyway.
I’m hoping the kitchen runs smoothly this time. We can’t seem to stay on top of how many people are eating vs. how much food we have. We lose money when we cook too much and lose our reputation when we run out of food. Still trying to find a more efficient way of accounting for that within the confines of not offending anyone by doing away with the honor-system. I don’t think it’s possible.
Poker. I think I’m giving up the game. I can’t win anymore. For the last 3 months I’ve consistently lost money. We played again Sunday night and I lost money. The slump only gets worse because after I start to lose, I start screwing around and lose more money. It’s the cards. I don’t get them and on the rare occasion I do get them, I don’t play them. I’ll throw in a flush or something silly. I think it’s because I haven’t been drinking while playing recently. I know I play better drunk. Either I play better or everyone else plays worse because I generally leave the table with an empty bottle and a full sack of coin. One more reason for me to start drinking more I guess…
