Spent all of yesterday out of synch. Decided to go for a hike in the woods, rolled my ankle while admiring the scenery instead of watching where I was going. Plus I had ominous pain in my feet that reminded me of the plantar fasciitis that plagued me last year. Think it was my hiking…

I didn’t realize that November 1st was just around the corner. Two days to go before I have to start cranking out the copy for NaNoWriMo. I’m not all that concerned about hitting the 50K target–as long-time readers of this blog know, I have no problem with throughput. I just have to keep from getting…

How can I make that seemingly ridiculous assertion? Simple–the Steelers are determined not only to beat the team lining up across the ball but to also beat themselves. It isn’t enough to post a mere W and move on to the next foe. Oh no. They have to beat the defending Super Bowl champions too….

Two years ago I’d just started a new job and just didn’t have the time. Last year…I don’t know why I didn’t do it last year. Oh, yeah, some bad things were going on last year and I just couldn’t get it going. But this year I have no excuses. I have the all the…

Be curious to see what kind of feedback they get about it, might have to check back with the reporter to see if he hears anything back. Oh, and this is somewhat unrelated, but what…

Who feels worse about today’s NFL results, me or Al? Steelers gift Atlanta with three turnovers inside the 30-yard line and then commit three more bonehead mistakes to seal their fate. And then the Iggles give Tampa two touchdowns outright, come back, take the lead with 30 seconds left, and then have to just sit…

Or gay, or teh gay, or whatever online lingo you’d like to use, how are we to describe the people who keep up a running commentary when a few high-stakes players are battling online? I logged onto Full Tilt and see there’s a three-handed $1K-$2K limit game going with a “name” player involved. I saw…

Sorry if my writing have gotten a bit schitzophrenic lately, alternating between calls to the barricades and “Hey, I won a $10 SNG last night!”. These are strange days to be a poker blogger in America. We might be an endangered species, a fear that only deepened after I read Bill’s post on the UIGEA…

This is going to be a recurring theme on these pages as we approach Election Day on November 7th–Vote The Bastards Out. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act is hardly the most catastrophic bill passed by Congress the past few years. Why, just yesterday President Bush signed the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which in…
