The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour is happening in my town tonight, and that’s where I’ll be. Try to not miss me too much.

Oh yeah, I’ve been occupied with band stuff the last few Thursdays, and my daughter is staying over with me tonight, so I don’t think I’ll be able to hop in tonight either. Maybe next week.

Sorry for not posting results, I passed out right after the game and forgot all about it until just now for some random reason.

Even with just 4 players, we almost made the break. But I flamed out badly with about 5 minutes to the break, and the others were just short, maybe a minute or two away.

Damn. I totally forgot again! I’m such a moron.

I’m sitting around last night, bored stupid, falling asleep to old MST3K’s, wishing I had something fun to do. Doh!

That’s it, early onset Alzheimer’s isn’t gong to beat me; I’m taping a reminder note to my computer monitor right now for next week’s game. So, I guess I’ll talk to you again next Friday morning when I forget again.
