more charvhole updates :lmao:

i'm right in the middle of 22 straight days of work. :mellow:

anything noteworthy happen in the last few days in here? other than charvhole

 
My firm manages two hedge funds. Used to be four, but times got tough, partners left in droves after uranium crapped the bed, there were days I worried about the long term prospects of our company, blah blah blah. But we've soldiered on and had a good year (though we're doing our damned best to lose it all this month :hot: ) and at the end of every year, one of our funds donates 10% of the management fee to charities of the limited partner's choice. We have about 20 partners in this fund and I happily lead the task to find their designated charity, have the checks cut from our Prime Broker and mail them out in December, which I'm doing today. It's part of my job that I love...giving away money that's not mine (though a portion of it should be mine as part of my comp package, but I don't care) to good causes and finding out what charities people support. Happy to report there are no "Human Fund" donations this year.

If a partner doesn't select a charity or get back to me in time or would prefer we just send it to a worthy cause, our firm selects one charity each year to donate these orphan dollars. And since I lead the project, I usually pick the charity with one edict from my boss - pick something that is nationally known since our partners come from all over the country/globe. This year, I chose Wounded Warrior Project which piqued my interest after listening to Jared Allen talk about it this summer on the radio. Did a little homework on them and liked what I found so today, I am pleased to cut them a check for $2,528 American Dollars.

All told, we are donating over $17,000 to charity this year. Makes my Tanner Scrooge heart feel just a tiny amount of holiday cheer.

 
I showed up with the ladyfriend (she's going to need a name at some point) around 6:30. Charv was already there. Things started slowly, since it was just the three of us and we were just off work and sober. Good sign was after the first drink she started ordering double tall vodkas to get in the spirit of things, which also meant that each round now included shots of fireball. Drifter arrived, drinking ramped up, and fireball was abandoned for tequila.

I should have known things would go south when the waitress brought us a round of tequila shots we didn't order when she brought our quite impressive tab (thanks for splitting that, drifter).

I proposed going to the dive across the street for darts or pool, but somehow it got turned into bowling, possibly because my (date? girlfriend? woman who will never talk to me again?) said she would dominate all of us. we ended up all going separately to a bowling alley in west seattle, where she texted me "I'm the only woman in this place." pretty sure she thought this was the beginning of a porn shoot.

she opened a tab, which as far as I know is still open. Drifter also opened a tab. Pitchers upon pitchers of beer were brought to us, and she made good on her promise to destroy all of us at bowling, despite the fact that Drifter went home and showed up with his own shoes and ball. every pitcher was accompanied by a round of shots. at some point, I don't think we were even ordering them anymore but they just kept coming. since she declined the shots but people kept bringing one for her each round, I was taking hers and mine each time. Rude and Rudewife showed up for the second game.

I lose things right about there. Vaguely remember falling with a shot in my hand, hitting my head and spilling it on my face.

Covering stuff about "the West" this week. Yesterday we were discussing Mountain Men, fur trapping, Astoria Oregon (my students were excited to find out that's where they filmed "The Goonies"*) etc.

In reference to the beavers being "trapped out" in the East one kid asked "did they ever try and start a beaver farm?"

My real response: Well, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work like that. Beavers aren't like cows or chickens. That's an interesting thought, though."

What I wish I could have said "There is a Beaver Farm...it's right down the highway from The Bunny Ranch up by Carson City."

*I may have also told a few of my classes "My good buddy Forrest lives in Astoria. His house is like a block away from where Mikey's house is" out of pure boredom.

To steal a line from Boston Fred, "if I were a dog, my tail would be wagging right now".

One of my favorite breweries hails from Astoria. Ft. George Brewing is a real treat if you can find it.

I saved my likes for more important things, like Drifter leaving a cornhole to go get a bowling ball and shoes.

I believe you fell with a round of shots in your hand and despite the fact that it happened 1 foot behind me, I was completely unaware until I turned around and saw you lying on your back with liquor all over you.

Good times. I need to not drink at this time of year though because, while normally I'm a very happy drunk, I tend to get a bit despondent with work stuff.

I didn't leave. My house was on the way from the bar to the bowling alley so it was convenient.

that makes more sense, given the volume of booze that was on my shirt and in my hair.

Hold off, GB. I'm halfway sure I'll have to go to this by myself this time, so we can sit together and odd couple it if Bama and Oregon make it.

I would like to find out the Dallas scalping laws, however. I usually buy tickets the day of the game.

Plane ticket purchased. I'll be there Fri - Tues. Maybe we will get to jail afterall.

 
SO much to do this weekend, friends coming in tonight, a non-functional pregnant wife stressed about making the house look good, I finally got everything under control and had time to get everything done, need to run to Costco to pick up a shelving unit because the one I bought yesterday was bad, and bang, no start on the 4runner.

So now I'm taking the starter off of my 4runner to try to rebuild it. I hate it when #### breaks. Especially when you have a pile of other #### to do.
