Still coming down…
Yes It’s snowing here in Brooklyn, and blowing. It’s piling up in the street because plowing doesn’t happen so much in the minor boroughs and certainly even less in our little particular back water. It’s not bad news. I’ve had a good day all in all, sleeping off the bad vibes of a brutal work week this morning until Lehigh licked me awake, and I got started preparing for company. The scattered, clumsy energy I seemed to have around me persisted today, as I kept knocking things over and spilling stuff into the middle of 2009′s last poker and cigar party at my house.
Folks arrived early, and I was at a loss given how utterly filthy the house was, and how I had only just begun to clean the most offensive spots when the bell rang.Luckily my friends quickly tired of my apologies and made me take it easy. After a couple of hours of play I began to unwind. I ended up losing a few bucks but won some good hands early on and had a great time, happily seeing Jeff, Ed, Scotty, Scott, Thor and Mud. Bears, cigars, poker, pizza, what more calming influences are there?
