Now this is the way to END the summer

So I found out a couple of hours ago that with a little moving and shifting of some shifts at work, I'll be able to go to a beach party and then after a day to recover, I will be taking off to Vegas for the 1st annual MORT (Men Of the Round Table) convention.

I will be driving to Vegas, while portions of MORT will be flying in and riding back.

Thats it for now,




BTW, for those that care, Phil won the monopoly game earlier, and I was the only one that was still alive at the end. Funny issue arose at the end of the game, I owned one entire side of the board and a couple of RR also, while Phil owned the rest of the board. There were a total of around 5 times around the board, where I landed on either Free parking, the utilities, my RR, or go to Jail. I did this for like I said about 4 or 5 times around the board. It got absolutely hilarious as I started to call out the numbers I needed and rolled it.

ouch, that hurts!

Well, just as I expected the day after the first workout in 5 years, there was some aching muscles. The one that I can't figure out thou is why my right elbow is hurting. My left one is fine, it is the right one that hurts so much. Ah, who knows.

I gave my speech on College Textbooks and the prices that are out of control. Out of a possible 100 points, I got an 84. It would have been a 94 had I've just kept my hands out of my pockets, and kept my speech to under 9 minutes (I ended up going 10:02).

Earlier this evening I played the "Here & Now" edtion of Monopoly. We play it a little different at my house, as since the makers of Monopoly have yet to make extra paper mone for the H&N edition, we use poker chips to supliment the money. White chips = $1 Million, Blue chips = $5 Million, Black Chips = $10 Million, and Red chips = $50 Million. I ended up winning with a grand total of property and cash of $358.35 Million dollars. Since I have gotten this game (Christmas of 2007) I have kept a scoreboard of the final totals, and that #358.35 puts me in the top spot! :)

If you ever want to play, just let me know. Sometimes if everyone is up to it, I play where everyone puts in like $5.00 and who ever wins, takes all the cash. Now that is monopoly at its finest!

Tomorrow, I will be goin to the zoo to do a project for Anthropology on monkeys....did that just for you CJ!
