The actor Peter Boyle died today. I never watched Everyone Loves Raymond, but Mr. Boyle is responsible for one of the 5 biggest laughing fits I’ve ever had. I should say that when I start laughing, I pretty much totally lose control. I’ll laugh until I can’t breathe. I’ll laugh until I’m close to throwing…

After watching about 60 hours of poker the last 10 days I decided to actually PLAY a bit tonight. Signed up for Wil Wheaton’s tourney and promptly donked off 1/3 of my stack calling with KQ against AK. Brilliant. I fight back to about par when this hand happens. I have the AK of diamonds…

Oh, how I love the yearly sobfest that surrounds the end of the college football season. Every other sport decides its champion by playing a game.

I was up until 3AM blogging the first event of the UltimateBet Online Championship–you were following along, right–so how did I spend my afternoon? By playing in a tournament!
