Well I placed in my first poker tournament, sure the silver doesn’t have as much glory as the gold, but I got back double my buy in, which is kinda nice. The storm passed north of us, so we caught a little rian but no hail. After the tourney ended at 2 am (4.5 hours of poker) I made some nice time back to the apt, since I got all green through downtown. Before poker I had gone over to the UT football practice, saw a few guys from BYX for the first time since spring, it ended early cuz of lightning. I love the lightning, and it sure felt appropriate. Definitely fit my mood, which despite all the good went from pretty darn excited to brooding in nothing flat.
