Today is my younger sister Lily's birthday, tomorrow is my mom's birthday, and the day after that is my slightly-less younger sister Emma's birthday.
Yesterday my cousin Randy got a full-time job working for Microsoft, which is really exciting for me because it means steady access to discounts from their employee store.
I've also now extended my streak in cashless tournaments at the Venetian to 17, but I've now also won in 7 straight cash sessions ($3,028, $420, $95, $540, $228, $385, $808).
The Mariners still haven't won my confidence yet, but they've finally scored more runs than they've allowed, which indicates that they might actually be a decent, if not great team, certainly better than the Yankees have been and hopefully will be. I've gotten bored with the NBA in recent years mostly because the Sonics have sucked, but between LeBron James finally stepping into his own and their opportunity to draft Kevin Durant, I'm looking forward to becoming a fair-weather fan again.
