OMG - Someone stole my car...

Tuesday Apr 29, 2008

After a great night of poker, we had an issue. My wife made it to 4th in the event while I was knocked out in 6th. After I finished in the game, I played in the cash game and did well. Cathy wanted me to leave with her at midnight and I was on a roll. She ended up getting a ride with the person that finished in second place, I thought she took the car when I left an hour later; I was walking out with a cash game buddy talking over hands and bad beats and walked by a car that looked like mine.

A few minutes ago, my wife went to leave house and noticed that my car wasn't in the driveway. I have been crushed with work and not even thinking about stuff. I ran downstairs and feared the worst. In 10 seconds, we were ready to call 9-1-1 and I asked if she left the keys in the car when she came home from poker. She advised that she rode with Darren and I commented that I rode with Gary. Then the shock of leaving our car at our friends place overnight and what Mark is thinking. (Mark, I know you read my blog, so here is to you)

Turns out that we blocked in a car in Mark's driveway and the SOP is to leave keys in the car if you block in someone, so I did. The car was moved from spot A to spot B and given that folks were still playing when I left, I didn't realize that the white car on the other side of the drive was mine given that I thought that Cathy drove home. I was so pleased to have won a bunch of cash that I didn't pay attention as I walked in the house last night... The joys of old age.
