It was Chris’ Birthday last Friday and I was hoping to post a wonderful Birthday Recipe for him to try some time. But I was politically waylaid and forced to deal with foreign policy. Now, back to some lighter sides of life. Here is a recipe that Sonia and I have tried a couple of times… Read More »

Well, I went out to play poker last night for the first time in a very long time. My buddy Gerald G. (pocket G’s I like to call him) was hosting a 10 player no-limit night. Typical blind structure. Re-buys until 10:00pm and one additional add-on before going into the elimination round.
