Update on the non-events of the last week.

I don't have much to update as of right mainly because my activity has been directed towards finishing up the 1st part of my (thesis statement) multiple blog entry on government's policies towards the financial sector and online poker. I was hoping to have it done by now, but the more I research (mostly the financial aspect) the more I feel needs to be written. I am approaching the home stretch with regard to the meat and potatoes of the entry and will have to compose the overall introduction. Once I am finished with the 1st part, I intend on posting each section a week apart so that I can put my focus on the poker aspect, part 2 as it were. I would like to post the entire section together at one time on another off-shoot blog page for this entire paper, just in case anyone comes across it and wants to read it as an entire piece. I hope that I can finish everything before online poker legislation is passed as my writings will be moot (not that they're going to be gorundbreaking shit to begin with).

  I still have not been running. I believe I informed my reading public that I would be suspending my running plans, as being a stay at home dad has been claiming more of my very little free time due to the fact that my sons are no longer willing to take naps. I was hoping to have made much more progress by now, but I had an injury about 4 weeks back that put me on the sidelines and then my home schedule just got tougher. I am going to have to reacess my goals for the Chicago marathon next year and make it more realistic. Plus, I really love drinking beer and eating fatty foods which is not good for staying healthy.
I hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday season and staying safe. I will talk to you all soon. Have fun!
 

Poker Update

It's been a while since I have given any strong update on how my poker playing is going. The reason for that is because I haven't been playing much poker lately which is disappointing to me and at the same time, fuel for my writing. I've taken to Twitter in order to voice small sound bite opinions or pass on articles and opinions of others that I'm following. (I hate using slang and meme)
 First off, my dual poker challenge has basically taken an indefinite leave of absence. In case you haven't read my earliest entries which began right after Black Friday (that's poker related Black Friday, not the one right after Thanksgiving). The first challenge was to get experience playing NLHE live at my local casino. It started off well and then saw some bumps in the road. It then got harder and harder to find time to drive all the way to the Casino, especially being a Stay at home Dad. I played very little poker in Las Vegas a few month back and have yet to play live poker since then.
 My online challenge hit some rough waters as I had a major downswing/runbad/playbad  October. Finding the time to devote to playing A-game poker online has also become much more difficult. I've been using free time to either run or research my epic multi-post blog entry relating to online poker and Wall Street. I hope to have it done before Christmas and more importantly, before legislation is passed which would make my writing a bit moot.
Well, I will let you all go and hope that some of you who visit stay a while and read some past blog entries. Have fun!
