The Taste of Freedom

Date: Sat, Nov 1, 2008

Today I participated in the ultimate expression of American democracy–the Kiwanis Club pancake breakfast. Come on, voting’s fine and all, but you don’t get a side order of sausage when you vote. Plus only like 13% of Americans actually bother to vote. “Ooh, looks a bit cloudy, think I’ll try again in 2012″. Savages. Based on [...]

NoNoNoNo; or, This is a Promise, Not a Threat

Date: Thu, Oct 30, 2008

Saturday is November 1st, which kicks off National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo). The idea behind NaNoWriMo is that you churn out a 50,000 word novel during the 30 days November hath. Once again, I won’t be participating. I tried it a couple of times, but the idea of having to crank out a few [...]

Prologue

Date: Wed, Oct 29, 2008

Back in the old days I’d write up a post about every World Series of Poker episode and I’d bitch and snark and show off my fabled wit. These days I sit down at the computer and write 4,000 words and finally abandon it. Just as I’ve abandoned the post I’m working on now. It’s [...]

How Blue Was My Valley

Date: Tue, Oct 21, 2008

When I woke up Saturday morning…I won’t say that I wanted to die, but a lengthy hospital stay would’ve been so nice. Instead I poured as much water and Advil as I could into my system and took a long, hot shower. By the time we piled in Debbie’s car and headed for Happy Valley [...]

As Nails

Date: Thu, Oct 16, 2008

In light of my previous post, this is really, really funny. I’d like to say for the record that I’m not wearing a splint, I haven’t taped my finger, and I’m playing volleyball tonight.

Busted

Date: Tue, Oct 14, 2008

I’ve broken three bones in my lifetime. Let’s briefly review the circumstances surrounding each incident: 1988–broke my left pinky playing basketball. Reached in to deny a bounce past into the post, stoved my pinky. Hurt, then hurt worse. Friend scared me into going to the doctor with nightmare scenario where my pinky froze in place. Doctor [...]

Not a Man of All Seasons

Date: Wed, Oct 8, 2008

This might seem rather obvious, but how cold you physically feel is a matter of degree. I’m not talking about Fahrenheit or Celsius here, I’m talking about context. If you asked me the occasion when I was literally the coldest in my entire life, I’d bring up a day in January of 1992 (maybe 93) [...]

Bye-Bye

Date: Sun, Oct 5, 2008

Checkout from my hotel was at noon and I planned on going for a walk on the beach, maybe take a dip. But I felt so bloody awful when I woke up that I almost reset my alarm for eleven. Colds are always worst in the mornings and I was sweating and shivering under the [...]

Through The Looking Glass

Date: Fri, Oct 3, 2008

Today UB held a rebuy tournament to raise money for the Ante Up for Africa charity. After the main tournament ended I took some pictures at the AUFA event as well. Including this one: Let me explain. I took a photograph of people while a film crew videotaped them getting their picture taken by somebody else. How [...]

Aruba Quicky

Date: Wed, Oct 1, 2008

After writing posts all day about the last thing I wanna do when I get done for the night is write up a post. But this is cheaper that going down to the casino and losing a hundred bucks playing video poker. That can wait till tomorrow. Aruba is different from most tournaments. Most people qualify [...]

Wheels Up

Date: Fri, Sep 26, 2008

This is a big travel weekend for the pokerblogging world. Pauly is in Amsterdam, soon to fly to London to cover the WSOP-E and meet up with Change100. F-Train just arrived in Seoul and, no doubt, is totally focused on his work and not the millions of Asian women who just happen to live there. [...]

I Can’t Deal

Date: Wed, Sep 24, 2008

I don’t like watching stuff that I know is awful. I don’t watch those MTV shows featuring rich, spoiled children acting rich and spoiled, I don’t watch CBS’s never-ending parade of brutalized corpses. If Skip Bayless appears on the screen I squeeze my eyes shut and change the channel as fast as possible. I keep [...]

Where’s Waldo? Where’s Geno???

Date: Tue, Sep 23, 2008

I’m watching ESPN’s broadcast of Day 2b of the Main Event and, as usual, vainly looking (in vain) for myself on the small screen. The last two years I’ve spent something like a zillion hours inside the Amazon Room and the only time I’ve spotted myself was during the $10K Pot-Limit Hold-Em event that kicked [...]
