It’s been a crazy time this last few weeks. I feel like all I’ve done is follow up on Dr. tasks and things that should have been easy but have been extremely frustrating instead. It takes a bunch of tasks to come together to make everything slide into home. Finally, after breaking down at one point and crying my eyes out at the Pahrump hospital where I was trying to get approval for an EKG, and more frustration coupled with more frustration, it’s all set…I hope.

Kicking, some days higher than others
Where or where do the days go?
I can’t win a pot playing online poker at WSOP.com now. It’s like the days disappearing without a trace, the Card Fairy left me high and dry. No cards, no hands, when I do THINK I have a hand, it’s a trap. But this isn’t a tale about running bad. Anyone that’s spent any time at the tables knows all about running bad…they don’t need my input on it. Continue reading Kicking, some days higher than others
Leveling the Playing Field of Insanity
There are a number of days in my life that I felt I fit right right into the category of being insane – not criminally insane because the only harm I do to living things is squash bugs and flies – but the land of the insane is a great place to be at times. Continue reading Leveling the Playing Field of Insanity
YES! I made it back…
My effort to get my tush into the chair to keep the ink (virtual) flowing here has been a travesty during the month of September. I do know ‘trying’ never did anything, I can remember hearing that a zillion or so times as a youngster. I’m working on it though…really…no…really!
Yup, I made it back
Go figure that I have such a hard time getting here. My great scheme of trying to get here every day sure was thrown under the wheels of the bus. A few thousands cars ran over it and backed up to make sure they got it again — sideways! Continue reading Yup, I made it back
Even watching hurt
I’ve been gimping around as of late. Little grouchy pains egging on bigger pains and finally made the move to head out the door to the desert late this evening with my doggie-o. She was crazy to go, jumping around, panting, pacing as she waited for me to get ready. Continue reading Even watching hurt
From there to here
My last post went up a week ago. *slaps own face* I have been completely out of the loop and out of the mood to sit down and try to put a thought together that makes sense. Sick? Yes. After my adventure to have more testing done which will eventually lead to a consultation with a surgeon (at the end of this month), I ended up with a bladder infection. Continue reading From there to here
Did I mention?
What a screwed up relationship I was in when I learned to deal and play poker in Montana some million years or so ago? Just to give you an idea of how poker doesn’t always build a strong and lasting relationship, I thought I’d toss in this little bit of useless information — it can rip a marriage, end friendships, destroy your work ethic and money handling ability, and in general, fuck up your life really bad unless you know how to put it in the right place and not let it control you. Continue reading Did I mention?
Just when the streak was hot
it took a big dip…that’s the streak with my ‘post everyday’ idea that fell through. If good intentions carried the field, I’d be first when the checkered flag hit every time. Some days are good days for me, others are so-so, and some are just downright shit-tae!
The boys in the band
You know that when you frequent the same poker games every week, you get to know everyone — and their dog and cat, and family, and all those details you really would rather skip at times. Yuppers…we’re heading back to the past. Continue reading The boys in the band
