Well, as you can see from the picture I decided for my first table to be only a table top and not have legs for a bit more portability with the possibility of legs in the future. I have affectionately named it Trial and Error for that exact reason, all of the trial and error that went into my first poker table.

Admittedly I should have helped more with the packing since it IS my stuff. The poker table is nearing completion as I wrapped the rail in foam and wrapped a quarter of the entire rail in the finishing vinyl. The playing surface has four coats of polyurethane on it and it’s ready for playing time on Saturday night. By the way, I’m moving into a new house on Friday, so if you are willing and able to help it would be greatly appreciated. You will be rewarded handsomely Saturday night with beverage of choice and all the pizza you can eat followed by a poker game on the new table. Come one, come all.

This past weekend was spent in Dallas for nine of those of us on Raider Awakening Leadership for RA37. Excuse me, eight, Corie wasn’t able to go with us at the last minute because of a family emergency, so prayers for her family, definitely. It was a great whirlwind of a weekend getting into Highland Village, where my parents live, just before 11pm Friday night and leaving after Mass and picking up lunch on Sunday at about 12:15pm. Here’s a little recap of the weekend:

Well, this will be happening to my knee in just under another month. I have been scheduled for arthroscopic left knee surgery on July 9 at Covenant Medical Center with Dr. Robert R. Smeyne. I will get the knee scoped out and most likely have complete ACL replacement surgery. Hopefully all goes well but I will be expecting to be out of commission, full strength sports-wise, until after New Years, or there abouts.
I have a pre-op appointment set up for July 2, just before Dr. Smeyne goes on 4th of July vacation. That also still leaves me free to enjoy the 3rd Annual Jared and Andy trip to 4th on Broadway this year on the 4th of July to be accompanied by mullet hunting and baseball autographs. The reason I had the surgery scheduled for so far away is that my parents will be out of the state in the last week of June (which is when they originally wanted to schedule me) and I will be moving. I wanted to get my moving done before surgery and my Mom wanted me to wait until after she got back in town to help with the first day or two after surgery.
