Wish me luck

Post by truckndad »

As most of you know, I like to play a lot of cribbage. I've won a couple of tournaments, usually consisting of around 100 or so players, but this next one will be something else all together. I received an invite to a tournament of champions for my play last season, so on Friday I'll be in Reno playing in that one. Along with, oh, about 500 other player. :o Then on Saturday I entered myself into the Open, and so far there are over 800 players entered in that one. Pretty sure my head will have exploded by the time I get home on Monday.
Hopefully bringing along my good luck charm, SWMBO, will help quite a bit.

Good luck, TD. Hopefully you won't get any 21 point hands. :p :whistle:
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.

Good Luck, truckndad!
"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
