The week I’m not there and Root wins. Go figure. TheKid took over the computer for her schoolwork. While I like y’all, her having good grades is more important. ---

another week and another school function. i thought we were done but the hits just keep coming (900 hundred plates of spaghetti and meatballs with salad and bread). i really need to get a life and get back to much more poker and golf rather than dealing with all this kid school stuff. ---
