Jude and I returned home tonight, about 8:30 p.m., from our weekend in Vegas. Although we had a great time and enjoyed seeing El Jefe, Cindy K., Ironman, Franchise and Stone Bear (all friends from our Foodbrothers' group), we were anxious to return home and see John Patrick. Jude practically jumped out of my SUV when we pulled up in front of the house and ran inside to hold him.
Our nanny, Carley, and her husband, Jon Meade, kept John Patrick for us while we were gone. By and large, their weekend with him was uneventful. He did make an appearance with them at "Itchfest," the Ultimate Frisbee tournament hosted at Vanderbilt annually by their men's and women's ultimate frisbee teams. Carley and Jon rolled him around the playing fields in his stroller and he took a nice nap while they were there. He also attended a friend's birthday party with them.
In what seems like a lifetime ago, Jude and I played in "Itchfest" together, when Nashville's ultimate frisbee community put together a couple of over-30 co-ed teams, "Wine" and "Cheese." In those days, the Vanderbilt kids couldn't get enough college teams to fill out the tournament roster, so the Nashville folks usually fielded one or two teams. I've got some photographs somewhere from that tournament. It's sad, but many of the people who played with us have moved or retired from playing (like us).
Jude and I played in our first Texas Hold'em poker tournaments at the Wynn in Vegas, where we stayed over the weekend. She played in one Saturday afternoon, while I was in the sports book at the Wynn, watching virtually all of the teams I bet on lose or fail to cover the point spread. Saturday evening, we both entered the same poker tournament. Neither of us did too well, though we held our own for a while. Jude actually finished 17th out of 41 players in the afternoon tournament.
Needless to say, we're glad to be home.
