If you remember, we started November with a new game. He needed to get a hand that beat mine in poker in order to earn two O’s. Or pay the price.

So, who won? He did. Unfortunately.

I had one card shy of a straight flush. Which “I” think should count as more than a straight.

He, however, ended up with a flush. On the last night. Before that, he only had a pair of aces.

So, I guess, he gets his two O’s this week. I mean, it is what I agreed to.

I didn’t, however, agree to not make him sweat and suffer just a wee bit. I need to have my win too.
