Notes

1. I am going to Chicago Thursday to play the WSOP Circuit Hammond 5k event. I pessimistically bought a Saturday flight out although the tournament starts Friday and ends Sunday. I won't have much down time in Chi-Town though I have several friends there and adore the place. This will likely be my only poker tournament of the Fall. There's a good chance the next one will be the PCA in Bahamas in January.

2. Softball season is over. Sigh.

3. You may have noticed the 777 banner to the left. I have received overtures from advertisers for awhile now but never felt the money was worth defiling the blog. I finally decided putting up the ad and giving the money to charity was the most utilitarian option.

4. You may have also noticed how terrible I am at picking NFL games, even though I "work" harder at this than any "job" I've ever had. Battle plan: relax, step back, calm down, have fun, go Broncos.

5. I have a puppy. This is worthy of its own post, coming soon.

6. This one goes quite a ways back...I really enjoy auctions. Going to an auction is a guaranteed good time even if you don't wind up with anything.

7. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Greenberg on a flawless, joyous wedding. This one is worthy of its own post too. You've changed my life. You are my inspiration.

8. I've been watching Friday Night Lights first season - and loving it.

9. My Survivor fantasy team is Monica, Mick, and Laura.

10. I bought a yellow shirt the other day.
