In other news, my LAS-IAH-LGA flights just posted with a nice bonus. I am inclined to believe it's a mistake, but perhaps it's an early Christmas present?

Yes, platinums are getting 25% extra RDMs right now for no good reason.

I have no heat or fans on current temp in house is 62, perfection :D

We used to go down to 58 at night in the winter. Now that we've got a little one in the house, we keep the rest of the house at 63 and just open a window in our room a little.

Hope you are on your way to Ft. Myers soon.

Thanks ladies and gents...we got out about 45 minutes late....uneventful flight except because of weather near RSW, they buttoned up the cabin almost an hour before landing.

I had a bad FullTilt night last night. I was playing in a cash prize tourney and was doing pretty well. I had J 6 in the big-blind, the flop came down 10 10 10. I bet the pot and was called by one person (the chip leader). The turn was a 6 giving me a full boat. I checked and so did the other person. The river was a 2.

Chip leader makes a medium bet, I raise to all-in, he calls me and turns over a 10 knocking me out of the tourney! UGH!!

That is one name that they are referred to as. Also called "ordinary" or "high wheeler". They have one that's got a 60" front wheel.

I learned to ride a 42" when I was younger. It's not easy.

I had a unicycle in my youth. And a pogo stick.

He did write a Volume 2 followup, and I have another softcover of his in red that I am drawing a blank on the title of.

It has no value as a teaching tool, but The Professor, the Banker, and the Suicide King is a phenomenal poker read. Positively Fifth Street by James McManus is not nearly as exciting but still interesting...autobio of a male Canadian journalist who gets assigned to cover the WSOP for Harper's Bazaar and ends up entering and cashing.

Don't forgot to finish your holiday shopping by choosing a suitably appropriate gift for mnmag and me:D:D. You can UPS the gifts (preferably in their original Tiffany Blue Box) to Brit and mnmag, c/0 1000 PandlyLand Lane, Pandystan, NJ. I'm partial to anything small and sparkly...... and I'm sure mnmag is too ...:D:D:D

Thanks, Brit -- for having my back!:D Trustguy could tell that I'm into 'classy' things!;) Trustguy, we don't want to make Lisa jealous -- so you'll just have to get her something more sparkly!:D

Me, too. With all the push hands you can play longer and drink more. :D

There is something seriously wrong with my innernetz.
