Faneuil Hall is the place to be today!!

Let's see if i can keep up with the names......I'm not that good at names, but I will give it a try....there was 9 of us today. So there was moi representing @onewhitedog, and we had Bonnie there representing her kitty cat @LilyLuWhoT, and then there is @CountryClare7's Mom was there today, then there was Judy and her partner June who arrived representing their pet @iamDaisyDoo, then there was Monique and Brian that came in honor of their @Ri_Guy, and then, and then we had @gromekcat Mom and Dad was there (having hard time remembering their names, but very nice people. I hope I didn't forget to mention anyone.

We missed @grrlysquirrel75, I don't know if it was just bad timing or she was having a hard time with the transportation section of it, but unfortunately, I guess, will all the ever she put in to getting her, she was shy and embarrassed about holding everyone up and left. We never even saw what she looked like or explored her personality or said Hi! So I'm hope from the bottom of my heart we get a little to do this tweet up again and this time we will exchange phone numbers to easily get ahold of people in need of reconfirmation on times, directions, and where we are all going to meet. Like more of a solid plan than "I showed up, but didn't know what anyone looked like and went home again" I NEVER want to hear that ever. Well, when we go out together next time, we are to exchange every one's phone numbers to each other of who is gong to be there. No more unease looks and confusion. If anyone wants to do this again (and yes, in my eyes, it was a huge success.) This is what I had been looking forward to for the past three weeks - I mean, Nov 12th was burned in my head to meet the people on the other side of the Twitterverse!!! Okay I got there with plenty of time to spare.....I mean I got there in plenty of time, but not enough time to go wandering too far away and get lost.......NOPE, this chick wasn't getting lost down here! :) Wanna see what I saw??? Me too!! :) Oh, and everyone got a kick (and, at first, didn't believe me at all) that my license plates says basically 'Wait For Me'. They said "Nooooo, way!" I said "It's a miracle I'm ready to go anywhere on time, and get their on time should be a different story (or license plate) all together. Some people have a good sense of time, others, like me, just can't manage to stay ahead of that clock. Heehee!! Okay, I'll shut up now and show you what I sawwwwwww :) :) :)

This is the first sight I saw when I hopped into Faneuil Hall....Wow, let's explore! :)

Looking at this picture is the front door to Durgin Park. I was heard that this restaurant started by two people. One person's last name was Durgin and the other last name was Park! Neat huh!

I'm just taking some pictures around where I'm standing outside.....it's nice outside, I only had a sweatshirt on.....let's take a walk around for alittle bit.....

Is that what I think it is?? Let's get closer.......

Ohhhhhh, it is Dick's Last Resort!!!!! I've been to one of these in Texas somewhere.

Got to sneak some pictures in of Quincy Market!!!!!

Nice upper view of Quicy Market!! Lots of food inside here.

Ohhhhh, what is the comossion gonig on over there to the left side of the building.....quick! Let's go see!!!

See!!! There's something gonig on over there and I'm too curious to leave it alone.... :)

Oh, it's a performer struggling to get his body inside the frame of a tennis rack...hmmmmm, yeah, you heard me the first time...... :)

Yep, he does it. I don't really see any tip jar around him, but I'm sure he'll pull them out when the act is done. I'm outta here!

Let's go into the Market place to shop around.....

They have these vendor wagons all over the place wanting to send you home with a "Boston" souvenir! :)

Wanna see the menu???

Let's see here........I'mmmmmm thinking I'll gooooooo, hmmmm, with the Chicken Pot Pie!!! :)

Check that Chicken Pot Pie out with iced tea.....I was in heaven....it was so delicious! :)

I came home to this.........

So, other than that! Pretty quiet night....gonna Publish this.....and relax....Hope you have a good night too :)

Okay, you all with me still....LOL!

Hello! This is my 81st blog posting.....I'm doing pretty good but fell off the bloggie wagon for a few days there......I'm ok, I'm back, I didn't get hurt :) I gonna post some pictures on here I got off the internet, hope I don't get in trouble.....save bail money for me in case :)

I don't have any original pictures......well, I haven't taken any pictures at all last week or this past weekend.....haven't really been doing much. The "Superbowl of Horse Racing" is done for another year, but I don't talk about that sport on this blog. Let's talk poker! :)

Okay, I've been playing poker online alot lately, and I think as much as I've been playing online, it has hurt my performance in my live poker league. Why?? Hmmmmm, well, the live poker league tonight (I know, I'm home early) was a real eye opener for me. I actually saw real holes in my game I need to work on......let's list them out here:

First off, I have to learn not to be a "follower". I crashed big time tonight at poker because I shouldn't be afraid of, or "forget" to, or dismiss the fact that re-raising can work in my favor. Got to find that creative side inside me to read the hesitation in others and re-raise when I smell fear in the ones that stay in to play the hand out. For example tonight, one person bet 3,000 chips and I called him on it after following his lead thru out the hand. He said "If you would of re-raised me to 5,000 I would of folded and you would of won." With this statement he showed me his hand and it would of been true. *slaps forehead* Okay, add re-raising to list of ammunition to use to win, but use wisely. *check* got it! :)

Second off, I have to learn the language. Ugh. They can't just stay with the solid formal terms of a winning hand. You know, the typical, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, etc........ohhhh, noooooo, they have to confuse me and say things like "I bet you have a Boat in your hand". A what??? What the heck is a "Boat"?? I've never heard of a "Boat" in poker before!!! Yeah, yeah, before you start laughing too, we all start as a bottom feeder. LOL! (Note to self: A "Boat" is another name for a "Full House" in poker) Geez!

Third off, I tried a new playing technique tonight which I was curious if it worked, and it didn't. But maybe it was because I had crappy cards all night (I mean, it can't be totally my fault!). Well, since poker blinds go up so fast (every, say, between 12 and 15 minutes), I tried to play aggressively up front on the smaller blinds to collect what I needed to survive thru the bigger blinds late in the game. I don't think this technique should be used on every poker session, but I think that type of "play" holds more of a 10% luck rate. So, from this I can tell I need to find more patience to hold out on playing aggressively and play more confident on the solid hands I'm dealt. Case Closed! Ugh.

So, moving on. What else have I been doing? Going to the gym, I do between 2 and 3 miles on the treadmill while watching their TV or listening to my PodCasts on my Blackberry. That seems to zip time along nicely as it helps me get thru my gym sessions like it's not a chore. My walking group is coming to and end this week.....I haven't been going since it's been too cold in the morning for my liking, but the walking group is having a little banquet on Nov 15th for lunch, so that should be fun to go to and say bye to everyone until the spring time walking group resumes.... :)

Jake has been doing good. Very playful and feeling great! I'm attending a "Tweetup" in Boston this weekend on his behalf. Yes, he has his own twitter account and his own friends. It's funny how people can get along so easily with each other thru their pets. This "Tweetup" will be awesome as I've only meet two people I yap with on Twitter in my life. So this "Tweetup" should really fill my list of meeting Twitter Peeps! I think there is like 9 or 10 of us going now, and I'm trying to talk someone else (you know who you are lol) into going so we can meet for the first time and say Hi and put a face with a Twitter name. I can be such a social butterfly.....I love it! :)

Tomorrow will be exciting because I will be having a late lunch with a friend. Yes, one of those friends I yap with and check in with everyday via email and text messaging, but we only see each other once a month to pig out at a restaurant. I love that! Take my car, take my phone, but never take my social time with friends away from me :) Okay, seriously, take my car, but leave the Blackberry! :)

Have a good night! :)
