I'm All In

Won another online poker tournament yesterday. That's my 2nd win in the last two days, 3rd in the last week. Maybe I've finally found something I'm good at. Lord knows I'm not that good at this writing thing. But then again, I've just started playing poker online so who knows? Somehow, I think, Mark Twain doesn't have anything to worry about.

Puck You, Canucklehead!

I'm a hockey fan. There, I said it. One of the few left in this town. I've found that since the lockout ended a few weeks ago that I can't wait to see an NHL game again. It's amazing. We have a minor league team (the Chicago Wolves), who are a pretty damn good team, that I barely notice. Went to see them this year for the first time. It was fun. Though it made me wish I was at a Blackhawks game instead. Maybe things will better for my beloved 'Hawks this year. Although they haven't given me much hope in the past, I still believe things will be better (my God, I am delusional). Now if the White Sox can do some damage in the playoffs, I can truly be happy. The long suffering sports fans in this town can only hold on to the memory of the '85 Bears for so long.

Sorry Wolves fans. The Calder Cup is still a minor league championship.
