Rare wins

It has been a busy week and shows no sign of letting up. Last night I met up nivek for a guys night out. We planned to meet at a pool hall he hasn’t been to in some time. Ha. The place ended up being closed. Permanently. Sigh. So we grabbed some decent Italian in the area and found another pool hall. Nivek and I have been playing pool together for well over a decade. I win the occasional game, but he often dominates. Last night however… we played a best of seven and it when to a deciding seventh game! And I won! (granted he had two scratch losses) but there was still a disturbance in the force. It was great to get out and enjoy his company. It is rare to be able to do that these days.

B.’s work Christmas dinner is Friday night. It is a crazy formal 800 course Italian feast. I should start fasting now to make room.

Saw my doctor Tuesday for a follow up cholesterol test. I like my doctor. He is so strangely down to earth. We talk as much about hockey as health. My results are in and I have to see him again to see where my numbers are all. I don’t expect much change. We’ll see.
