Ah-h-h-h-h-h! It’s Halloween and it’s just not like it used to be. The good old days would find kids running up and down the streets with bags full of candy and goodies banging against their legs – and some semblance of a costume or face paint to make it more Spook-a-listic! Home baked cookies and candy back then could be trusted to be exactly that…goodies, not something that might kill you or send you to hospital. Continue reading Hey Spooks and Spookettes

What’s Worse than bats in your belfry
Sugar ants in your kitchen! From whence did they come and why? I killed as many as I could as they roamed around in a muddle – they didn’t have any specific place identified as a food supply yet. It’s amazing how fast they die when you hit them with spray Lysol. Two days in a row they showed up at different times. I greeted them as best I could and sprayed out the welcome mat.

Online Poker is RUNNING now!
It’s seriously painful that US online poker players are still stuck in the mire of mud wrestling – rules supplied by the DoJ. I still can’t grasp the fact that the ‘big 3’ went down on April 15th but there are others still running that serve US players – or as those sites would like it phrased ‘everyone in the world can play.’ Why isn’t someone suing the DoJ for unfair practices? If one is guilty, they are all guilty, right? Did the DoJ spend all those months and millions of dollars just finding ways to trap the big 3? It should have been a net that got everyone – or nothing at all.
UPDATED – NO REALLY – From then to now
Yes, it’s been awhile; what’s new? From my end of the street, everything is new. I’m busy. I seldom ever have the energy to find my way here after a day at the tables salt mines and filtering through news and promotions that involve poker and searching for the latest news on how to overthrow the wicked government and FORCE them to acknowledge online poker as a viable means to fill the US coffers and let us have our freedom back. Continue reading UPDATED – NO REALLY – From then to now
Gaming Licensing Companies
The thought or rather trying to wrap my thoughts around the complexity of trying to understand how the world’s gaming licensing companies originated – who put them together and the governing minds behind them – is bringing up one big blank in how much I trust them or how much faith I have in them.
A reboot kind of week
I don’t think it started out that way, the reboot I mean. But somehow it was going to require shutdown and start over a bunch of times for the wrinkles to start to roll out of the system. And then my damn computer didn’t help, the network couldn’t find the printer, the sky was falling, things were crawling – so slow I thought about slowing them up even further with a BIG frigging hammer. But let’s all take a deep breath while we reboot. Continue reading A reboot kind of week
Ten Years Ago
I had this to say:
The Death of Peace
Where peace once stood and freedom rang, the people hid, the sky stood gray.
The world was dark, its depth untold, the night had come to stay.
Sorrow ran in molten tears, no children came to play.
Peace had died, mankind slain, on one September day.
*****
Today, I cannot add anything to what I felt 10 years ago. Life is sad beyond belief at times.
Only the strong survive
How old is that saying? What type of strength does it refer to? Physical, as in the king of the jungle eats first? Health, as in you have to have the heart of a lion to be able to withstand all the cholesterol and grease in the American diet plan? Mental, as in no matter how painful life is you have to get up every day and search for a brighter tomorrow? I missed a few but I’m done with the question and answer period for now.

Ah-huh!
Do poker players anticipate a new event? I’m toggling back and forth with the players I remember dealing to and the ones I remember that travel a circuit may find a new event exciting but I do wonder how. Traveling to event after event has to be wearing on its own. I even wonder how many of them ever get the quick anticipation jolt when the TD or some replica says, “Shuffle up and deal!” Continue reading Ah-huh!
