Golfing and Softball

Today started with Ben, Ron, Joe, and I playing eighteen holes of golf at the Colfax Golf Course. We rented a couple carts and went out. I did okay for a while. I only lost one ball. For about three holes I was on fire. I got a birdie and that was the only one of the day from the whole group. It was nice that I got it. Joe is a good golfer.

When we left there Ron, Heather, and I went to Zeppoz. We had some beer and talked about baseball, softball, and golfing. Then I went to their place and helped them set up their new DVR.

I went to my office and got ready for softball. The fields were the worst I have seen them. In a game before ours a guy was running to first and his shoe fell off. Well, more accurately, the mud held his shoe and his foot came out of it. For our games they moved the home plates to the outfield and played into the field. In the first game Dave retired the first five batters on five pitches. Then they started to get hits. We got some too.

We ended up with the winning run on third base with two outs in the bottom of the last inning. I was at the plate and I flew out. So we ended the game as a tie. In game two we played Ron’s team. They beat us pretty easily. No one was getting hits. It was just ugly.

After the games I was invited to Jory and Chad’s place to play cards. It was a five dollar buy-in. I held my own. I was one of the last three people there and the top two places were paid out. I was the short stack and figured the others would just wait for me to lose the rest of my money. But as it turned out one person went all in, and the other called him. It was Chad who had gone all in. He won everything. So it was Chad and I heads up. I kept playing my game but I was down to only a couple blinds.

In did a couple all-ins and won some money. Then at one point I caught Chad trying to buy my blind, but I had a good hand and I beat him. I was now the chip leader. But that would only last until I got the Big Slick. I went all in and Chad called with a pair of fives. Nothing came to help me and I lost the chip lead and I was back down to a couple blinds again. A couple hands later I found a hand that I could play and nothing came again. I lost to a pair of queens to my pair of jacks. I won fifteen bucks.

Then I was on my way home when I heard about a coroners case. I told Whitcom I was available if Pete wanted my help. As it turned out Pete just had me take the case. Someone had choked on some food. I did my investigation and got home around four-thirty in the morning. I was very tired by that time. It was nice to get to bed.
