Poker night recap

As everyone left the house with their clothes, I think poker night was a success. We ended up having eleven players with the top three finishers being Tony, Mike, and Anhill (I think that is how you spell it). There was a variety of food, a few drinks (or a few too many for some people), and interesting enough, three quads dealt for the night. Jill and I will try to host another poker night in the upcoming months. Much thanks to everyone who showed up.

Disfunctional Family-Recap of 3/11



Our final "regular season" volleyball game saw the following:
Kathy continued to be the silent leader.
Alex laid off and believed Mike to be drunk.
Mike appeared to be drunk.
James may have been drunk.
Amber ran a mile.
Jill practiced her fist bump.

Regardless, a win was had, and we've clinched at least a tie for the regular season championship, which will be decided next week.

Poker night

All crackmonkeys are invited for a Texas Hold'em night at Jill and Tony's house on Saturday, March 28th at 7:00 p.m. The stakes will be small. Usually we do a $5 buy-in and then manage it like a tournament with blinds going up every 12-15 minutes. Novice and pros alike are welcome, except for Glenn, since he was giving my wife a hard time on previous blog posts.
We will have a few snacks and drinks, but feel free to bring any other thing your heart may desire. If you could comment back to let me know how many will attend, that would be great. Hopefully we can get around 8-10, more if possible.
I will send an email out closer to the event with directions.

A bit sloppy, but...


The CrackMonkeys got another win on Wednesday night in two straight games.

The match was marked by sloppy play, for sure, but was notable for the first ever opportunity for the original six members of this year's squad to play together. That being James, Alex, Mike, Jill, Kathy, and Beef. There was some definite rotational issues, but they were worked out late in the games, both of which saw big CrackMonkey runs.
And not the bad kind of runs.

Also of note from Wednesday's game: Amber's hair looked perfect. Jill brought back her fun grunts/sounds. Alex swung away. James played his good friend, and survived. Kathy showed pictures of cookies.
