- Elements of Poker, The Rooster, DoingBots, and a Dead Guy
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I just got done reading Elements of Poker by Tommy Angelo and was really very impressed.

- The Long Journey Home
I ran into one of those travel perfect storms on my way back from the Land of Smiles (LOS). I misjudged Friday rush hour traffic on the conservative side and ended up at the airport three hours before my flight. I was promptly told upon check in that the flight was delayed three [...]

Sorry I haven’t written in a few days. I’m starting to come out of my holiday bliss and getting ready to jump on a jet back to reality.
