Wow, even though I was (and still am) a little sick with some kind of bug, it was a very nice birthday. The kids were good and very helpful with Daniel while Michelle was at work, then when she came home, I got tons of gifts. Some good organizing stuff for the garage/barns, the Episode III soundtrack that I really wanted, a huge dark chocolate bar that I just downed half of, some other stuff my fever-addled brain can't remember right now, plus ONE THOUSAND poker chips. These are really nice 11.5 gram chips in two big, heavy suitcases. As soon as I get caught up on this book review, we are definitely going to have some poker nights around here.
Plus, Michelle baked a huge yummy pan of brownies as my birthday cake (we'll get another cake in a few days for Cody's birthday, so I asked for brownies), and I got to watch a whole baseball game from under my blanket, and the Rangers won #7 in a row, this time over the White Sox, with four home runs, a good performance by Chris Young, and even a cheap one-pitch save from Cordero. The next two games (against the Sox #1 and #2 starters with a combined 15-2 record) are going to be a real test. The Angels are playing the Royals now, so we'll have to win at least one of these next two to stay even with the Angels before we go back to easier opponents and they have to play the Sox again.

I've got five colors, 200 each. I'm thinking about torturing the kids and working on their math skills. Ok, kids, the green ones are worth 2 cents, red 11, white 14, blue 23 and black 47. I raise you $7.23.
Of course, that might just make 'em say the hell with it and go all-in every time.
