Search

I started my long difficult search for a used boat this weekend. I saw two boats, both of which were manufactured when I was a rookie in the insurance business. I'm looking for something a little newer. It will not be easy considering my budget. I am learning more each day I look and have received a lot of help. My boss and I had a good conversation about what to look for today.

I held my 3rd poker event of 2012 in my condo party room a week ago. We had a great turnout of 22 players. Popeye Jimmy invited a couple of real characters, for their first and last appearance. The one guy tried to help himself with the leftover alcohol. A quick thinking Donut Girl was able to save the booze. The young man brought a duffel bag with him. He wanted to stuff his bag with whatever he could get his hands onto. How would this guy get onto the guest list? They were last minute additions from Jimmy's local. The second character was this guy's adopted sister. As this is a family blog I wont event get into what she was up to. She tried to earn a little money on the side. There were no takers and for the first and I hope last time, I had to escort both of them off the premises. That made for an interesting story. Other than those minor distractions, the poker tourney's are becoming epic events. We do not need to invite street people to attract a great crowd.
