The Blog Father has returned to his pre PokerWorks Digs. *Sniff* (more…)

This is a short picture update of Chinese New Year in daylight. And I now know it’s the ‘year of the Boar’ and not the year of the pig. But damned if that little pink thing doesn’t look likea pig, and its ears wiggle too. Umnhhh! (more…)

As pointed out to me in a comment by ‘workerbee‘, I’m late with doing an update. Totally! Thanks for the nudge. The last update is here. The latest update is here. (more…)

I had thought to just throw out the title of this post and let it ferment for a bit before going back to it. It does load a plethora of pictures in my head, some are best left alone, and others can be explored when I’m not sitting at the keyboard.

I feel the need to explain my last post. I do not hate dealing. If I had to go out tomorrow and look for another job and I was skilled in several (I used to be a cocktail waitress, also a bartender, also a legal secretary, also managed a deli, also worked for a phone company years ago, and a Sears store, I help people with computers too), and of all the occupations I can think of that I would like to tackle, dealing is my first choice.

Dealing vs. playing – and writing down the events of the game really aren’t much different for me.
