Couple of things this morning:

1.) Remember this picture of the bathroom (scroll down)? Well, now that the contractors have been at the house for three days straight, half of my house looks like that. Luckily, I'm not doing hardly any of the work this time, although I am going to cable the whole house with coax and Cat5 while the walls are open. We can't go back now, but the ultimate goal of having a very nice kitchen and master suite in a few months is a nice reward. These guys did one heck of a quick job at gutting the house and stripping up the terrazzo tile so quickly. I wish I had honed my Spanish before I did that bathroom last year because that is obviously the secret to high quality demolition.

2.) I played in another free energy trader poker tournament last night at the Armadillo. Going in, in addition to not overeating on the appetizers and not getting too drunk, I resolved top play a little more aggressively at the start in order to either be done early or avoid being crippled two hours later. So I pissed away half of my 6000T stack in the first four hands on draws and middle pairs, and then was eliminated 15 minutes into the tourney by a coworker's loose call when his three outer K9 beat my AK. Oh well.

So I sat there and drank a few more beers and smoked a cigar and finally relaxed for the first time in what seemed like weeks, you know, with the baby on the way and a ripped up house and having to live with my inlaws for 2 more months... But I felt good, and when Mrs Johnnymac was mad at me for smelling like smoke even when I got home 90 minutes earlier than expected, I didn't even care.

3.) I'll post football picks this afternoon or tomorrow, but just to be on record, I am taking RUTGERS +6.5 tonight. In fact, I think Rutgers wins this game outright, and then loses to West Virginia three weeks from now and ends all this crazy Big East BCS Championship talk, but that's a little beyond the scope of picking against the spread right now, isn't it?
