My dog is so dirty. Amazing how playing in mud puddles will do that to you. Mmm, black mud matted into white dog hair.

I just got done playing spades with Mike. It's nuts how often I'll see a hand and think, "No way should I bid [x]," and then I bid [x] anyway. Especially when [x]=nil. I really want to bid and make nils. 7-9-J of spades? No problem! 5-8-10-J of spades? Sure, I can do that.

Only usually I can't. No matter how much I want to.

And then we lose our game, which makes me sad.

Bleh.
