Riley James
Sweet was born today at 00:25 in the morning. Apparently, Julie went
into labor right after their breathing class. The little tyke is over
eight pounds and Dave has pictures (he's already got hair, which I
guess is normal but I didn't know). The birth was right about on time,
though they were expecting Riley to be a bit late (apparently, the
first kid is usually late).
Shannon can't host games anymore. From what little we can put together,
Shannon's wife Kimberly isn't too comfortable with us. Not that she
doesn't like us, but she isn't comfortable doing things around the
house when we're there. Understandable, since we do sort of take over
the space where we game. She also had a tiff with Donald. Donald, who
defended Kimberly during the dark times. Oh well, times change.

So we decide
to game at Pick's for one month and my place on off months, with Eric
and Donald available if we can't host. I do want to host games, though
it is kind of far for half the people, but then again Woo and Fulton
have been driving lots to get to our games. I can host and provide
food, which I guess is weird that I look forward to doing that. The
only negative is that I don't have much table space and no board games
for whiling the time away.
Today we are playing Poker at Eric's place. Present are Woo and Donald,
as well as Eric and Barb and Chris (one of Barb's friends). Without
Eric around I'm doing pretty well. Hopefully I can at least not lose
too much money. We're playing Texas Hold 'Em (usually it's different
games depending on the dealer). Hold 'Em is two cards down, bet, three
common cards up, bet, common card up, bet, common card up, final bets.
It's the Poker played on television.
