I have sparked an interest in poker in at least two of my friends, Joseph and Todd. I am proud of how quickly Joseph has become a reasonable threat at the tables and would be willing to bet that Todd can become one in short order, too.
I find it a little disappointing that I am down to #6 on the Google Search “I hate Home Depot“. Maybe because the blog is getting dusty, maybe because I just don’t have the traffic I used to. Either way, I still hate Home Depot.
I’m optimistic that this 3rd attempt will also fail miserably.
Sooner or later this will work and all of my accounts will be linked.
This is a test post to see if my blog posts show up in both Twitter and FaceBook. This is only a test.
Update: Didn’t work.
I still haven’t got the ability to crosppost between this blog, Twitter and FaceBook. It;s not that it isn’t possible, quite a few people do it. It’s that I don’t know what I’m doing.
Not the first time this situation has ever come up.
Facebook has been killing my blogging, so I have decided to add a plug-in that will allow me to crosspost my stuff. This is a test of that.
I’m a doer. And borderline ADD. So normally I’m flitting from one thing to the next and staying busy, even if that doesn’t generally translate into getting alot of things done. Sitting around the house and not working on it are driving me ever so slightly mad. It is, of course, getting worse by the day so in a week or so (which would be Christmas Day), I should be a raving lunatic. I can obviously type and mess around on the computer, but my 4 second attention span is a serious impediment to getting tons done there, either. Though I have been racking up some pretty serious scores on my brother’s nemesis , Bejeweled Blitz. The various and sundry painkillers, muscle relaxers and crap that I’m taking make concentrating even harder, so the online poker stuff is increasingly difficult, too.
I’m getting a little stir crazy. I’m gonna try to read something which means, essentially, that I’m about to take a nap. Feel free to call, email, text or drop by whenever you have a second. I can use the interaction.
My back still hurts from the surgery. I am cautiously calling the whole thing a success because the pain down my legs is lessened to a certain degree, but I still get some pain. I’m pretty sure that the current pain is a result of the surgery and may lessen as I heal up. That’s what I’m hoping. Emily informed me this morning that I have 14 staples in my back. I knew that there were a bunch, but 14 is more than I would have guessed.
My Mom just got another knee replacement and has been laid up since Monday. She came through pretty good and I’m sure she will be up and about and jetsetting the world again soon.
Emily talks so much that I am shocked (!) that there are words left for me to write down. If there is a finite number of them, she will use them all up at some point. Jonathan is the exact opposite. He is just starting to use sentences to communicate, but his progress is remarkable and distinct, so I am very optimistic about him reaching age-appropriate communication skills in the future. We have long worried about his speech development, but he is plenty clever, so I don’t think he has any delays past his speech. He runs DVDs and computers at 4 years old, he’s no slouch.
As I said in the last post, I’ve opened up an online T-shirt shop at www.pokertease.biz. It has clever (IMO) sayings about poker and I think many players will enjoy the sentiments. Well, the ones wearing the shirts will enjoy it, their opponents, not so much.
I have guys working outside my house replacing bad fascia and soffits and painting and scraping and generally sprucing things up a bit. It’s not particularly shocking about how much needs to be done, the house was vacant for some time and quite neglected even prior to it’s vacancy, so nature does take over fairly quickly. I’m excited about the facelift, it just feels weird watching someone else work on my house. I’m supposed to be that dude. A few months from now, I will be right back at it. Can’t wait.
Poker, poker, poker, poker. That’s what I’m doing while I’m off. I’ve already set the bar at profiting 2k during my off time. I didn’t really base the number on anything, I just pulled it out of my …, ya know. But now it has been said and that is what I’m going for. Wish me luck.
I hope that this catches most people back up to my current state of affairs. See you at the tables, if you play. If you have anything you want to talk about feel fre to call, email, or comment. I’ve got time.
