The Poker Night
I’m on a flight from Melbourne to Adelaide in Australia so have about 40 minutes to tap this quick story out on the iPad. Please excuse any typos.
If you’ve checked my profile you know about Kate, my pocket-rocket ex. Some time after the sedatives night, one of my colleagues convinced a group of our mates to participate in Movember which in Australia is a fundraiser for Men’s health; you grow a moustache for the month of November and people fundraise.
Jack, Simon and I were all-in and had come up with the idea of a poker night. We’d rounded up about a dozen mates who all paid about $150 to enter and we put on two tables of six plus drinks and nibbles. Kate and I had an enclosed paved veranda out the back of our place where we set it all up. Kate and I had an argument about her hanging around, I’d said it was a boys night and she said she could help with serving drinks and getting food served, etc. Of course, she eventually got her way.
