yesterday afternoon i fired up some tables. and thought, why am i wasting my saturday afternoon playing cards? after a while i got disconnected, from the entire internet, for the rest of the night.
then i was kindof glad i got the playtime in while i did. so last night, no cards. i watched the Flyers [...]
it’s probably approaching noon on my last shift, and this guy i know walks into the bar asking for a beer, celebrating because “he just got out of county. 9 days served”.
he’s a wirey, friendly guy that suffers from extreme bouts of irresponsibility, so it’s not exactly a spooky situation. before i can even ask, he pulls [...]
i’ve been letting some stories slip away recently because i can’t seem to get them down properly in the written word. but, just so i don’t forget them, i’m cataloging some anyway.

that resulted in a 3 buy-in downswing at [...]
ok, with that out of my system, on to poker for a bit.
i’ve had two super-short sessions so far this month. one was a sweat with Schicky. during that one i pretty much got hit with the deck and ended up about 2 1/2 buy-ins in about 100 hands. so i took a seat at [...]
i got the chance to go see the flyers in action last night. it was our annual “guys adventure” to the wachovia center where we rent a van, load up the beers, pile in, and head to philly for the game. we get “lexus club” seats so we have access to free food and beer [...]
