Relaxing before the Series

I got back last nite from three seperate vacations, all back to back.
First, Morgan and I went to Greensboro, NC. We enjoyed dinner and drinks with Morgan's folks on the first nite, then visited Jane-Marie and Brandon's new house on the second. Their house was very nice, complete with a place to play ladder ball. We headed up to Smith Mountain Lake, where my in-laws have a house, on day 3. I got to meet my sis-in-laws boyfriend and despite not wanting to like him, I did. The whole family had a blast kayaking, swimming, and playing games. We went up to Blacksburg to watch Todd graduate from VATECH. Despite not having much room in my heart for anything not NCSTATE, I enjoyed myself. We flew back on that Sunday making me miss the FTOPS main.
Second, Cody, Baldy, Shannon, Katz, Adam, Marco, Zach, Evan, Ack, Renee, Mary and myself all rented this ridiculous 75' boat complete with satalite TV in everyroom, a party deck (with slide), 6 bedrooms, and a speed boat. We drank and played all day, drank and watched sports all afternoon, and drank and ate all night. I lost a solid 1k in betting on the week, which was ok because I was on the fishy side most of the time. With only a couple small arguements, the group had a blast. Hopefully we will win a couple bracelets and treat ourselves at the end of the summer with another trip.
Third, Morgan and I went to Pine Bluffs, WY, total population 1200. My niece, Jordan, was graduating from high school. My sister made so much good food for about 35 people that were coming in from out of town. The graduation itself was actually a lot of fun. Having only 21 people graduate allowed them to do some fun stuff. Although it made me feel old we hung out with high schoolers and adults alike.
Now that I am home I am trying to catch up with what few responsibilities I have and attemping to detox from 2 weeks and partying. I am still on the fence about which tournament I am playing first, but no matter what you will see plenty of me at the Rio over the next 6 weeks. I'll try and do short updates after everyday I play.
