Thanksgiving Feast

Lindsey and I went to our friends house this past Saturday for an early Thanksgiving dinner at our new great friends Gregg and Tammy. There was quite a crowd and the food was great. As coincidences may have it, many of the same people who participate in the bi-weekly poker game were invited. Even more of a coincidence, a poker game broke out. Philsan ran out and bought a $100 poker chip set and we were off!
Two games were played. I played the first and decided to end my poker night only to be surprised that Lindsey had drank enough to want to mix it up with the boys! Isn't she charming in the picture? Truth be told, she was in a great position driving the boys nuts. She had an opportunity to become the dominant player at the table only to suffer a bad beat. She went heads up with AQ against A8. Q83 came on the flop. Lindsey was in a great place, only to suffer her competitor (the man in the picture, James) to hit his second 8 on the turn. A crushing blow and a rough introduction to the cruelty of poker for poor Lindsey!
We, both, had a wonderful time that night. It was just a great night of good food and good people. This is great benefit of moving to a new area; opportunities to create new relationships with wonderful people.
