Running good online


"You're 120 over 70," the nurse told me. I had my physical today and they always check your blood pressure. My weight was good, too (134). Life is sweet.

After that, I had some chores and errands to take care of including getting a flu shot. By the time I got home, the online poker tournament I like to play in was long gone. I saw a cheapie ($5+.50) at 3 p.m. and jumped in it. I had a date to play bridge online with Kate at 7. No problem, the poker will be over by then, right? Wrong. It went on forever and I was trying to play both at the same time.

I was lucky twice in the poker. I had to go all in from the button with Q-J (short-stacked) and ran into K-Q in the big blind. A jack was flopped, no problem. The second time was at the final table. Again I was short-stacked and on the button. When you don't have many chips, my A-7 looks like the nuts, but I ran into 9-9. An ace on the turn, again no problem. Now I know how these luckboxes enjoy sucking out against me -- it's fun!

Heading to Raleigh NC tomorrow where I lived for 21 years. Time to see old friends and enjoy my fantasy football draft.

  5. Thanks MOJO. The header photo is of Silver Springs Park just east of Ocala. Used to be a really big deal before Disney went into Orlando. It's still a nice place to spend an afternoon. Lots of movies were filmed in those waters: a bunch of I Spy TV shows, Tarzan movies, etc.

  6. I've been remiss, MOJO. I've been meaning to thank you for the pictures during your trips, but keep keeping up with the reader and other blogs - I've enjoyed following the trips regardless.
