Back From Vacation

It's back to the grind now and I have not been welcomed back well. Played 4k hands today and dropped 2 BIs. I know this is nothing out of the ordinary, to have played 8k hands for the month and be down 2 BIs, but it has been due to some really terrible running, so that makes me happy. I have watched a few videos as I have felt stagnant and I have felt like I have not been playing well, and that has helped me regain some confidence. It is nights like tonight though that are incredibly frustrating, because I lost almost 7 BIs in non SD winnings. I was constantly getting raised off of my hands. I have nights like this fairly frequently throughout the month. It is like 75% of days throughout the month I am coasting along and not doing too badly with non SD winnings, hovering around 0 and then a day comes when I just get shelled. It seems like a problem, but I am not sure what the solution is. Hopefully some stufy will help, I am slightly annoyed that I am not demolishing this limit like I should be doing. Maybe I am overestimating myself, but it is a bit frustrating that my winrate has been around 2.5 ptbb/100 for every limit I play. It seems if I can win at that rate at 200nl, then I should be able to get 5 ptbb fairly easily at 50nl, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I digress.

Vacation was awesome. It was my first time to the beach in about 20 years. I just soaked it in and enjoyed the Hell out of it. We really made it a point to just relax and do whatever whenever and not have too many things to see. Jas did want to make sure we got to the Aquarium, but that is only one thing over the course of almost 5 days. I wanna go back so badly. lol Jacob loved the ocean, especially the waves. I would take him out and hold him where it would be waste deep if he was sitting down. He spalshed and splashed, he loves the water. He'd laugh like crazy too when the waves hit him. I made sure any waves that would hit his head, I would lift him out of the water. I don't want anything bad to happen, since he is still so small and can't really know to hold his breath and whatnot. As I said before, friend me on facebook if you wanna see pics, I am too lazy to post them anymore.

I gotta get back at it with the garage too. I have pics of that on facebook as well. Progress is going, much slower than I had anticipated. But I wanna do it right and that takes time.

The Wings. Eesh. Games 1 and 2 had some of the worst officiating I had seen. Game 3 was called well and the Wings just flat out collapsed in the 3rd period and San Jose played well and stole that game. It really irked me to see Detroit playing so poorly in that game when it was clearly a much needed win. Game 4 was a rout for Detroit and they sit down 3 games to 1. I am hoping they can win Game 5 in San Jose at 10 pm, but we'll see. If they win that game, I really think the odds that they win the series is about 50%. Game 6 would be at the Joe and anything can happen in a game 7. I don't think the Sharks want to see it get to Game 6 for this reason. The Red Sox were down 3-0 against the much favored Yanks a few years back and came back to win the series, anything can happen in sports and this is the Red Wings after all, the best franchise in all of sports. I don't think they will come back, but honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if it did happen. One thing I will say about Sharks fans from what I have seen on forums, they seem to be pretty good fans. It is too bad that good conversations about hockey get sidetracked by silly Penguins trolls, happens every game. They talk shit about the economy and city of Detroit and not about hockey either, it gets pretty annoying. If you don't believe me, just start going through any Wings-Sharks forums, I am not making this shit up. It is pretty annoying. Oh well.

Softball started out well, going 2-3 with a HR and 2 RBIs and a run, but two weeks ago, I slumped a nd had a bad game, going 1-3 with a RBI. Should have been 1-4, but you don't count ABs that are sacrifices. Gotta hit the cages and fix that flaw in my swing, I think I am not staying down enough through my swing and as a result, I keep getting under it. Can of corn ftl.
