Jon's 40th Birthday Poker Party

(03/01/08)

Yes! One of my friends is actually older than me! Jon managed to hit the big 40 before the rest of us. So to celebrate our relative youth (and, yeah, his birthday, too), a few of us got together at Jon, Kristan, Chris and Ken's house for a night of poker, cocktails, pizza and gift bags. Fun was had! And, more importantly, the evening documented that fact that (in case I didn't mention) Jon is older than me...

	Shuffle and deal, baby! Here you can see Kristan, Jon (you know...the old guy), Ken, Chris B., Karen and Chris K. getting ready for some Hold 'Em.
	Chris K. tries out his poker face. Okay, that's one way to go...
	Don't worry, folks...there'll be time enough for countin', when Ken's done doing THIS...
	Jon and Chris B. kick back between hands.
	Somebody slaps a cake down in front of Jon. What, is this some kind of special occasion or something?
	And there's the cake, with that magical number on it that says "time to start taking the blue pill"...
	That's right, gents. For the first time ever, Michael "Full House" O'Connell's video series, "Deal With the Ladies", is available on DVD. Now you, too, can learn all his tested secrets to winning at cards and with the honeys. It's the only sure bet in town. Order yours today!
	You might ask yourself how Karen's chip pile is growing so quickly. Wouldn't have anything to do with Chris B. holding up his cards like that, now, would it?
	As the first one knocked out of the card game, A.T. must be punished by being subjected to a couple hours of City of Heroes. Poor soul...
	Ooh, it's a gift box for the birthday boy! Would could it be, what could it be?
	Realizing that at Jon's age, the higher cognitive functions required to unwrap a gift aren't as readily available as they once were, someone kindly chose to use a gift bag instead.
	Ken and Chris B., doing the poker thang.
	While A.T.'s enjoying a big slice, Ken looks like he's had enough. Of the pizza, or the poker? No man can know for sure.
