What’s been happening lately…

It’s been a while since I update The Show.  Most of the time my updates are over on Facebook , but honestly, I like to write a long prose now and then.

Current Job…

I don’t want to say where I work, as I need a security clearance to enter the building.  It is located in downtown DC, next to where the old Convention Center is located.  The work itself is God-Awful boring.  And there really isn’t much of it.  I work full-time, don’t get me wrong, but there isn’t anything to do.  So I take the money while it’s there, who knows how long it will last. This leads to the next topic…

Poker

I’ve been playing a lot lately, essentially warming up to the World Series of Poker, that starts for me in about 3 weeks (June 3).  I can’t say I have a lot of wins to show for my efforts, but it helps to practice.  I’ve also done me annual effort to pick up some poker books to try to gain strategy.  I don’t know if all this will pay off, but it’s worth a try.  As I’m writing this, I’m playing on Full Tilt.  This really isn’t unusual, especially on weekend nights.

I’ll probably write about my poker exploits from time to time.  In short, I play when I can (live or on-line) and do the best I can, and try to improve over time.

Concerts…

It’s been a little slow since the Fall as for shows.  Most bands don’t tour over the winter.  This past week, The Donk and I went to the Pearl Jam show at the renamed Nissan Pavilion, Jiffy Lube Live. 

It had been a while since we both went to a show together, and we had a good time together.  The next gig I go to will hopefully be John Eddie at Rams Head in Annapolis.  I need to get a sitter for the night.

After that, Counting Crows in July (maybe?), Tom Petty in August, and Rush in September.

The Home front

I don’t remember if I posted, but Teri (the wife) is pregnant with child number 2.  This time it’s a boy, and as for names, Jr.  Yes, Michael Richard Young, Jr.  Some people have razzed me a little about being and egomaniac, while true, I don’t see anything wrong with the name.  Everyone knows how to spell it. 

The due date is July 27.  Although we probably won’t make it this late, and Teri is having a C-Section.  Her body just isn’t built for having a vaginal birth.  Next time some decent ultra-sound pictures come through, I’ll post them.  Or just post pictures of the birth.

We have also had a bunch of home improvements done.  The most striking is the deck area.  Instead of just a deck, it’s now a fully enclosed and covered porch.

On the interior, we have a new front and back door.  And we have a new fireplace.  With the new fireplace, a new TV has been added.  This is a Vizio 55 inch set.  I’m pretty happy with it so far and I’m getting into the Blu-Ray thing.  I’m sure I’ll post more on this later.

Now that everything is brought up to speed.  I’ll try to post regularly.  Fiber for the blog so it’s regular.
