Well that was quick

So my wife and I were having a discussion the other night about our newest daughter and Lego Land here in California. Both of my other daughters have lifetime memberships to Lego Land, and needless to say, we spend a lot of time there. Back in 2007 or so, they announced an increase in the price for the lifetime membership from $1000 to $2000. We had already bought the membership for our eldest, and we went ahead and bought it for our second daughter, before the price increased.

Fast forward to today, and Lego Land here in California has expanded, adding their SeaLife aquarium and a water park. And they jacked up the price of the lifetime membership too!

I told my wife, we didn't really have a choice, that we need to buy one for our 3rd daughter too. I told her not to worry, that I would buy it from my poker winnings. Well, it only took two sessions. I won $500 on Thursday evening, and I got out again last night and booked a $2450 win in a particularly soft 20/40 game in about 5 hours or so. I put the winnings in an envelope with my scribble indicating what the money is for and handed it to my wife this morning, kind of sheepishly, since I kind of overslept, since I got home a little late last night. But the game was good . . .

I have a very very very UNDERSTANDING wife. I still think that's an understatement.
