Overall it was a good birthday, but not that much different than any other day. I woke up around 11:00, when Heather and Isaac gave me their gifts. Isaac got me some Coors Light stuff and Heather got me a new basketball and a spare battery for my camera, which was pretty sweet. Jere came over around 12:30 and we played a few games of March Madness on XBOX. I kicked his ass!

After I finally made it to the shower, we headed over to Tom’s and watched Rounders, the greatest poker movie of all time! If you haven’t seen it and like poker, definitely check it out. I came home around 5:00 and opened my gifts from mom and dad, which included more Coors Light stuff and a nice little pair of binoculars, which I hoped I would get. They are nothing special, but will be perfect for taking to sporting events. After that, we went out to eat. My food was awesome! I started off with a salad from the salad bar, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Next we had a few appetizers and my main course of shrimp scampi was great too! When we got home, I headed back over to Tom’s for some poker.

Around 10:00 we headed to the bar, which was the worst part of the day. There were a ton of people there, so when we walked into Greka’s it was like walking into a smoke filled sauna. Tom bought me a few screwdrivers that were easily the worst I’ve ever had. Needless to say, Jere and I left after we finished our drinks, so this is where I sit.

Tomorrow I’m off to Alpena for the Momrik family Christmas gathering. Maybe I can win the poker tournament.
