So my day trip to Yosemite yesterday was very nice. First time I've been there with snow in the area.

A few pictures (spoilered so that they don't cause a seizure in browsers while they're loading.

We just got home from Vegas - we did the first ash scatter on Saturday at my grandparents' grave.

But, on a good note, we left early enough to do some great location scouting for our independent series, and now Ken is already researching, because we're so excited. We found some surprisingly interesting stuff. :D

Lovely Yosemite pictures, Alex.

My grandmother passed this morning.

Hugs to you from the Wolfpack.

LSPE, our condolences to you and your family.

I'm sorry

So, we went to Wendover, NV for a while yesterday. It's like Vegas, but not. Anyway...

Had some tummy troubles after lunch (go figure... I think the culprit was my eating the bell peppers despite knowing better with my stomach), so I didn't feel like getting in on the poker tourney. So, we sat down to the blackjack tables.

Now, I generally try to be scientific about the whole process, but in the end, I know I go on 'gut' as much as anyone else. I was at a bad table, or the mojo was bad... it was hard to tell. I couldn't settle down and made some bad calls that I knew better than to hit on. Finally, things settled down, we had a good groove going, even though I didn't move from my position, which I rarely do well at - seat 2. Did better when no one was in front of me, and yet didn't move over... didn't want to f with the groove.

Then, the creepiest mofo I've come across in years plants himself into the first position. Chills up my spine creepy, my friends. I played poorly, but honestly, I felt like the life had been sucked out of me. He left and I made it all back, and J was ahead, so we left when it looked like things were about to go downhill.

All in all, not too bad. Trip paid for itself, and we killed a day doing something we both love, playing cards.

So Sorry H :( /hugs
