Earlier tonight (around 6:30 p.m.) a janitor walked into a bathroom in Curtiss Hall, found a puddle of blood, and called 911. It turns out that there was a fetus in one of the toilets, but the mother was no where to be found. The Michigan State police have been investigating, but no further details have been released.
I’ll update this post tomorrow as the story unfolds.
Update: Check the comments for information provided by the SVSU Chief of Police.
If you could invite any 3 people (living or dead) to dinner, who would they be?
I’m going to split my choices up into two categories.
Sports:
Other:
The Detroit Pistons have won their 13th game in a row, tying a franchise record. They beat the defending champion Spurs tonight.
Duke took over the #1 spot in the Coaches and AP polls today. Go Blue Devils!
This time I had 10s in the hole and the flop came 10-10-Q. I bet out and they called. K came on the turn, so I set a trap. Sure enough, someone bet, I raised and both other players called. They folded to my bet on the river, so I didn’t even have to show my cards. 😀
I need to hit up a casino, cuz I’ve been hot lately!
Life should be back to normal now. I took another nap not too long ago and probably could have slept til morning. Just mentally drained I guess. Dad is taking tomorrow off work and I’m glad. He rarely ever takes time off and usually works 50-60 hours a week. This is definitely a time when he can use the day off.
The drive back today wasn’t too bad. For about 30 miles, the roads were damn near glare ice, but after that it was clear sailing. The sun was out almost the whole way home. Combine that with the reflection off the snow and the windows were like magnifying glasses, roasting us inside. I don’t know if I’ve ever wanted to get out of a car so bad as I did today.
SVSU has posted a programming position to internal applicants, so I’ve been polishing up my resume. Wish me luck!
Being at a visitation and a funeral may make for the most exhausting two days a person can handle. I spent about 4-5 hours at the funeral home yesterday and then we were leaving the house at 8 this morning to head out to the church for the funeral. After the brunch, we were finally on the way home at about 1 o’clock. Talking to all those people and watching so many people crying takes a lot out of anyone. Heather, Mom, Dad, and I all took naps this afternoon. I actually woke up not too long ago after sleeping for 2 and a half hours! We’re all glad it’s over.
I missed another chance to see my first Red Wings game last night, but what can you do. These things aren’t planned. Luckily we were able to sell our tickets to my boss Dave. They saw a great game, which ended 3-3 after overtime. On TV, they said it was the best game of the year to watch. Missed out on going to see the Detroit Auto Show today too, so the weekend was really flipflopped!
A big storm is passing through Michigan today and tomorrow, which should make for a fun drive back to Saginaw. #2 Duke handled #3 Wake Forest pretty easily today, so maybe they’ll get some more first place votes or take over the #1 spot from UConn. Probably not, but I can wish.
Update: North Carolina beat UConn today, so the Blue Devils will definitely be #1 in the polls! 😀
I just placed 3rd in a no-limit sit ‘n go tournament on UB. It cost $5.50 to enter the tournament and I received $10 for placing, so I came out ahead. I played flawless poker pretty much the whole time. The only reason I bowed out was because I was slow-played 2 hands at the end. The player didn’t bet or raise with ladies in the hole and then didn’t bet or raise with tree 7s a few hands later. I’m improving and that is what counts.
I flopped 4 of a kind just now for the first time ever. I had a pair of sixes in my hand and the flop came 6-6-2! One player kept calling me down to the river, so it was a nice payoff. Two hands later I had a pair of fours and folded preflop because of the raising. Flop came down 5-5-4, so I woulda flopped a full house!
Update: I kept playing well after that. I played for about an hour tonight and ended up ahead by over $11, playing .25/.50 limit hold’em. That’s over 20 big bets per hour.
I’ve decided to go with “Extremely Contagious” as the slogan. Thanks to the 2 or 3 of you who posted suggestions!
My Grandpa Momrik passed away this morning at around 6 a.m. I got the call from Mom when I was getting ready for work and then Dad called on the way to work. My Dad seems to be taking it pretty hard.
Ever since Nanny passed unexpectantly a few years ago, Papa has been going downhill. Nanny was everything to him and he just didn’t want to be here without her. I think it was about a year ago that he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and had to be put into a home for full-time care. It was pretty bad too, he couldn’t even remember talking to you 5 minutes ago. It was sad to see and we all knew that he wanted to be out of our world and with his wife again.
Earlier in the week Dad had told me that Papa hadn’t eaten in a few days and couldn’t move anymore. He thought the end was coming. Last night Dad called the priest for Last Rights and prepared for it. He ended up spending the night with Papa so that he wouldn’t have to die alone.
My last memory will always be from a few weeks ago when we had a Momrik Christmas gathering over in Alpena. Papa was yelling at me to stop eating all the shrimp! He was a good man, who always had his hands on something. His flower beds and lawn always looked amazing and he could make the neatest little creations out of wood.
Papa will be missed, but now he will be reunited with Nanny again. We love ya Gramps!
