It was a little difficult to find it because there was a lack of street signs and house numbers in the area. Finally I narrowed down to the fact I was at the correct spot and went to find his apartment. There was no indication of apartment numbers from the parking area. So I went to the first opening I found. In the hallway I entered, I immediately found his apartment. What luck.<\/p>\n<p>I knocked and was let in.

We threw some darts and watched the action until Jeremy ended up winning the whole thing.<\/p>\n<p>We played some Omaha for the fun of it, teaching everyone else how to play.

I decided to head home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent a fair amount of time on the phone with Ricky today trying to figure out the estimates of working of Kroll again.
