What's Your Edge

Tonight is our company Christmas dinner located at Elements in SB. www.elementsrestaurantandbar.com/ I have yet to purchase a "white elephant" gift. I'm not too concerned since you can't really go wrong with anything. Last year I brought a Chuck Klosterman book, despite the majority of gifts being something no one wanted. This year I think I'm just going to walk into Blockbuster, close my eyes, and pick something to buy, regardless of what movie my hand finds.

After dinner I'm debating driving back up to Chumash for some Friday night poker. Tonight would be a great time to go because I don't have work tomorrow and can stay up there as late as I want. Additionally there could be some drunk money in the room which would be nice. In regards to poker, specifically live vs online, I can already see convenience being a huge struggle for me. The 45min drive followed by a mandatory 4+ hour session, is insanely time consuming. If I continue to find it very profitable, that should sway the apprehension I feel about making the drive a few times a week.

Tomorrow I'm driving back up to San Francisco for a brief holiday break with my family and friends. I hadn't made the drive once in 07, and now I'm doing it twice in a week. Hopefully I'll remember to borrow my roommates radar detector, as I prefer to get up there as fast as the car will allow. Here's a good spot to add, fuck you King City high way patrol.

A few of the things I hope to accomplish this short trip home are: hitting up my 2nd favorite pizza in the world (behind Chicago's Lou Malnati's), Toto's www.totos.com/index.php, Christmas shopping; haven't started Christmas shopping so I'm going to need to do that some time soon. Perhaps play at Lucky Chances which is 5min away from my house and is supposedly a very profitable place. Meet up with JP while he's a cop (and maybe go on a ride-a-long?) Go to the 49ers game to watch them hopefully keep it close against the Bucs. On a positive note Patrick Willis is a future HOF linebacker. Enjoy time off from work. Devour Christmas-eve and Christmas dinners.

I'm eager for the new year to get here. I have already started looking back on 2007 and my past year's accomplishments and memories. I've also begun new list of resolutions for 2008 that I'm excited about. I'll make a post about both in a few days. The holiday season really slows down business and I'm excited to begin traveling again. We have a ton of projects set up in the first quarter of 08, which will leave me on the road nearly all of January and February. Anyways, enough of this boring entry...

Happy Holidays!
