When you go to bed by 10:30 p. m. you must be a retired Hold'em Soldier. You planned on having a late night of TV and snacks. But, fourteen seconds into the program you're a lumber jake cutting wood. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's! Then you wake up early because the darn suburban birds begin to sing when the dawn of the morning is about to show itself. You get up, go outside with a re-heated cup of coffee because it's too early to start making a fress pot. You go outside because the outside is the only smoking area left in Suburbia these days. You have a half a pack of cigs with a cup of day old coffee. Now that's a breakfast of champions. Unfortunately you won't see a retired Hold'em soldier on a box of Wheaties. In fact where are all the Hold'em sponsors, and why does the travel channel only show World Series of Poker reruns? How many times do I have to watch Noel Ferguson win? Seeing Phil H cry about some guy calling his $2000 bet with a troubled hand and winning, bad beat crying is getting old. Have we not had three WSOP tournaments since Noel won the big one? Or was there just two? Surly enough to show a new one.
There are many things you can learn away from the Hold'em Wars. The first thing you learn is to miss the extra cash that seems to be around when your in the thick of it. The retirement checks from the Casino seem to be getting here a little late. In retirement there is no RUSH of luck, just a rush of honey do's and there is a serious tone to the rush orders. Why do women always want things done yesterday, isn't tomorrow fast enough? Why do women linger on your every word when you're dating them, but after the I do's they no longer listen to you. You become the listener, and you better listen up, because if you ask for a repeat of what she just said, there will be hell to pay!
SPM,...got to run, I got a honey do list somewhere around here...
