Temporary success against the odds 😉
I’ll save the normal monthly poker update for the end of the month, where it belongs. 😉 In the meantime, I’ll report on an interim success story, which might not have a happy ending, but at least had a happy beginning. 🙂 Today, I played in a tournament in the morning, and did […]

Sometimes technology lets you down 🙁
I forced myself to take my long walk today. As usual, I am extremely glad that I did, but for one thing. I walk with an iPod, with a Logitech Bluetooth headset. For the first leg of my walk, I was listening to Wicked (I know, huge surprise) 😉 but in the middle […]

Martina McBride Rules!
This could easily get very long, so either settle in, or bail now, seriously! 🙂 Last night, Lois and I went to Radio City Music Hall to see Martina McBride perform. From past posts (or if you just happen to know us), you know that Lois is a country music fanatic. However, for […]

Twitter
In early March, I discovered Twitter by reading this post on Jamie’s blog. I immediately signed up for an account. Even though Jamie’s blog claimed that he didn’t see an immediate application for it, I did. Lois and I follow the lives of our godchildren via their away messages. 🙂 That’s useful, but […]

Eric Sink and Sourcegear Rock!

New Machine
On April 23rd I announced the christening of my new server. At the time, I put the percentage of services that had been ported over at 95. It’s been at least 5 days since I’ve been at 100%, so the new machine is definitely “official”. Everything has been updated to point to the […]

April Poker Update
Since I’m not likely to be playing tonight, I can post my April Poker results now. I invested (risked) a total of $352 during the month. I played in 24 tournaments. 16 were 1-table Hold’Em tourneys for $11 each, and 8 were multi-table Omaha Hi/Lo tourneys for $22 each. Without attempting to, I […]

Harry Connick Jr.
After going on and on about all of the live music we’ve taken in lately, friends of ours surprised us with tickets to see Harry Connick Jr. this past Saturday night at Radio City Music Hall. Neither Lois and I were particularly familiar with him. We both knew he had an exceptional voice, […]

Christening a new server
I’ve been quiet lately, not because I had nothing to say, or no time to say it, but I’ve been busy building a new server. I didn’t want to post to the old one, once I got the blogging software running on the new one, with the database correctly migrated over. Since that […]
