Good Weekend

Friday night we went to the Irish Festival. We had a good time. My daughter was afraid of the music at first. She seems to be really afraid of loud noises. She calmed down after a bit and she thus had a good time. I was able to convince my wife to stay later than we had originally planned because she was drunk. So, I got to see Gaelic Storm after all, which was cool. I got to chat with some friends too, so it was good.

We stayed in on Saturday and I watched the Texas OSU game, which turned out boring after OSU took such a big lead.

I went for a nice road ride in the morning and then took my daughter fishing and hiking. We had a good time. The hike wasn't really planned. I went to some parkland our community has where a group of volunteers is putting a mountain bike trail. The group has been trying to get me to see it as the park may be sold and the want me to vote against it. I decided to walk the trail for myself. I met up with another dad that was exploring the trail with his 2 kids for the first time. The five of us started exploring and walked too far when we were not sure if the trail looped. Luckily, Abby did well and I did not have to carry her too much. We ended up meeting up with one of the trail volunteers who pointed our way out. The trail did loop. The trail volunteer immediately recognized my name and now it looks like I will have to tour the property with him. I will definitely ride this trail on my mountain bike.

I started to chip away at my poker losses from last week throughout the weekend until I played last night at Paradise. The table was much looser than what I have become accustomed to on Party. I lost to a 5-outer on the river and tilted off most of my $20, which sucked, but overall I played well for the week. I will seek to have a winning week this week.
