Jinx factor in action

I am a jinx of epic proportions.  When I was a kid my older brother, Marvin, got one of the very cool Evel Knievel jump sets.  He'd set up the ramp in the long bedroom upstairs and watch successful jump after successful jump.  Then he'd come get me so I could see its full awesomeness too. And Evel would wipe out.  Hard.  I never once saw him stick a landing.

So I probably shouldn't be at all surprised that on Tuesday, the day I couldn't make it to the game,  the Reno Aces beat the Omaha Storm Chasers in a 13-1 drubbing only for them to fall 9-6 last night when I was in attendance.  (I'd put a sad face here but my blog doesn't have emoticons...and after all these years I shouldn't let my jinxiness get me down.)  I will say that it was a great game and after the last two games we attended with 9th and 10th inning come-from-behind wins I was more than happy to hang in there until the very last out.  The Storm Chasers had the hotter bats hitting several out of the park.  I thought the 5th inning 3 run HR by Mike Jacobs was going to set us back on track, but alas that was not to be.

Still a really great night for baseball.  I went with my friend Deb who is also a Realtor with Keller Williams Group One Sparks.  We stopped for wine and tapas at Fuego.  If you haven't been there - go.  A nice Malbec, some garlic butter shrimp, some stuffed mushrooms and some asparagus straws...just the thing to prime you for some Aceball.

It is always more fun to take in a game with a friend.  Though I will say the Aces fans are such a great group you'd have a friend in no time even if you went alone.

It is almost unfair that I have so much fun at my job.  I get to work with great people like Deb, and Regina, Sandy and Jerry, and Ed, and Marie, and Dave, and Ray, and Jaime, and Jamie, and Emma, and Carrie, and JC, and Veena, and, and...and the list is too long to publish.  That is just some of the folks in my office...our sister office in Reno is just as full of great people, doing great things.  Insert a special shout-out to my dear friend and my own realtor Sharon here. Not only are they some of the best agents in the country (Awarded Highest Overall Satisfaction for Home Buyers and Home Sellers Among National Full Service Real Estate Firms 2012 by JD Power and Associates) they choose to be a part of this company because of the culture of family and giving that is Keller Williams.  We are currently organizing a book drive for one of the local schools; a blood drive...well, you know, for blood; and regularly hold fundraisers for KW Cares for all sorts of great causes.
