Just a video

Last day.

Well after writing my last post on Monday I played some poker on Monday night, played a $25 Tournament on Poker Stars and got 4th out of 1701 players and won $2977 USD, or about 4.5k NZD, so that really made my day.
Yesterday we went to the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stewart Gardiner Museum. It was also Nikolais birthday, but nothing much happened for that.
I have just packed. BOOOOOO. Dont really want to go home.

Duck Tour

Today I went on a Duck Tour of Boston, www.bostonducktours.com . It is an absolute must for anyone who comes to visit Boston. Its called a duck tour because the truck they do the tours in are old WWII "DUKW's" that can go on land and water, you get a 60 minute tour of Boston from land, then 20 munites chugging around on the Charles river. Very cool.
Tomorrow is Nikolais 2nd birthday as well as being election day, I am hoping to go to The Muesuem of Fine Arts and The Isabella Stewart Muesuem as well. But it all depends on time. Being sober is great, it has been now 9 days since i had a drink and i wish to thank all my fellow BLUFFer's who have given me encouragement during this time. I guess a few people back home will read this and are probably thinking "HUH?", and all i can say to them is I needed to do it.
Take care all.

The last four days.

No posts for four days because not much has happened in the last four days.
Mum and Mel got back from Savannah on Tuesday night, some photos were shown and it seems a good time was had by all. Wesnesday we did nothing, Thursday we went to see Harvard, its a building, and looked at a lot of shoe shops trying to find some damn boots (we still havent yet). Thursday night I got 3rd in a Tournament on Poker Stars for $1,737 (which is about $3k NZ), so that made me kind of happy, gives me my airfare to Las Vegas if things work outwell. That took till 3am to win, so On Friday I didnt do much while Mum went to a mall to look for damn boots, lol, she didnt find them. Lu, we may not be able to find these boots.
Romans family arrived on Friday night from Russia. Wonderful people, but I do have no idea what they are saying and they have no idea what I am saying, but apart from that all is going along well.
Saturday Nik got sick and Mel took him to the hospital. He has a bad ear infection, but he seems to be doing a lot better today. He is back to his loud self. Sigh.
Today is Sunday, because Nik was sick yesterday I imangine we wont be doing anything.

Sigh. Its raining.

Its a wet Tuesday. I am home alone, so basiclly stuck inside. Not much to report from yesterday except a few things i will keep to myself.
Perhaps a few videos.

Boston

Well, it turns out flights arent so cheap to Las Vegas , although I am sure that it would be worth it. So I have to think of another plan (which i allready have). All i need is for someone to say " Do it Lyall, whatever makes you happy".
As some of you may know, my sister and Mother are in Savannah GA for the next few days. Yesterday Roman took me and the kids to Wachusett Mountain for the yearly AppleFest. The drive there was "long and very very very boring" according to Katya. I am not so sure, I slept.
Was a nice day, we went to the top of the mountain and got a few photos before my battery went flat. But i had something else on my mind most of yesterday and I have to admit I didnt enjoy it as much as I could of.
To put it simply, I miss my friends. All the people I meet in Atlanta and Mississippi were the most friendly and fun people I have hung out with for a long time. Being back in Boston is somewhat of an anti-climax and even mentioning the thought of slipping away again brought down howls of protest.






Veiw from the top while feeling on the bottom.


For those of you who dont know, this is the veiw from Jerry's porch in Bay St Louis.





These are the people who made the trip so much fun. From left to right Greig (Atlanta), Jim (Flew in from Kansas City), Jeremy (Atlanta), Jerry ( Bay St Louis), Scott ( Tampa Bay), Some Moron (New Zealand), Brianna (Las Vegas) sigh, and standing is Lee (Washington State).
Absent from that photo was Tom, who was playing poker online.

Thursday

Yesterday was a quiet day. Slept in a little then sat on the porch out by the Biyou and drank a few beers. After that we got a phone call about someone Jerry knows who won 34 million dollars in the PowerBall wanted to play some poker. Apprantly he was a big fish, so off we went. I forgot, of course, that when i rely on luck for my poker I lose. So wave goodbye to my money, of course luck sack Jerry cleaned up.
We came back to J's awhile later, Lee was drunk and tred so he stayed home while Jerry and I went off to the casino, again. As usual for this area there was no good poker game going so I played some Blackjack and won ( sending the dealer and other players at my table into fits of despair with the way i play it, spliting 3s, doubling on 12, counting cards is fun.).
Came home and waited up to listen to my horse run, sadly he did no good,
That was yesterday.
Last day here today, we are off to Biloxi probably, then New Orleans again.
Talk to you all again soon.
Trying to think of a way i can get to Vegas, flights are cheap. Its time.
Love you all.
