I wasn’t going to post anything until tomorrow but I came across this. There appears to be a growing cult worshiping the number Pi. Prime candidates for NSA wiretapping if you ask me. Never trusted math geeks.

Bridgit and I started our Mardi Gras week off with a like-themed charity event @ the Wentworth By the Sea Hotel for Southeast NH Habitat for Humanity. It was a great event that raised much money for projects that are ongoing in Farmington, NH. There was plenty of good Cajun music, beads and hurricanes to make the night festive and primed for some exciting bidding during the auction.
As Mardi Gras approached, my kids and I awaited the once a year treat of Bridgit making bignets for a breakfast. Sorry kids….gonna have to wait til next year, mom forgot!
Mardi Gras also kicks off the start of the Lenten season. This is always enjoyable because my six year old lists out the things he is going to do (or should I say “not do”) during Lent. We certainly have a politician in the making because for each of his Lenten sacrifices he managed to leave himself an out clause. I think he has an opportuntity for some consulting work in Ireland where the local ministry is trying to get the locals to give up their Guinness . I guess they forgot St. Patrick’s day is in a few weeks.
It is now Friday morning, and I have about 75% of what I wanted to get done this week completed. The kids schedules for the next two days have us running around all over the place…but Sunday has been blocked off for the monthly big buy-in poker tournament @ the Poker Room. I am confident I will go deep and cash this weekend, you’ll have to wait for Monday’s post for the results.
There will be many posts related to tournament and cash poker on this blog. My family enjoys a very active lifestyle where outdoor sports are significant. Living in an ocean community and being only 1+ hrs away from the White Mountains…fishing, surfing, boogie boarding and of course skiing have been the norm. We have had the kids on skiis and skates since they were 3 so they are quite proficient and weekends or day trips away are more than enjoyable. I was dealt a blow a few yrs back with the onset of a few herniated disks in my lower back. Aside from having a physical affect on me, it was mentally tiring as well as I could no longer do many of the things I enjoyed. That is when I started playing tournament poker on a more regular and serious basis. I love the competition, the $$ is nice, but the competition is what draws me to it. More on this later….
The ski season is drawing to a close and while the wife and kids get their last runs in…I am planning for the spring and early summer. I am really looking forward to this year’s Striped Bass season.
Ok….I have finally done it. I created a blog. I guess by now this is the internet equivalent of purchasing a Sony Walkman (all those born after 1983 click the link provided). I have read Ted Demopoulos’ new book and I guess I am now going to have to put my thoughts down to be ignored by all those out on the web that are not lucky enough to have their Google search hit one of my posts regarding whatever I feel is worth writing about.
