Daily Comment

Every Thursday night at 8:30pm I have a date with some friends and friends-of-friends from North Carolina.

We use the Pokerstars app to play Texas Hold-em.

My friend and benefactor Al, who I met in NC and whose move back to NY paved the way for mine in 2008, runs the game. There's a ten dollar buy-in, and all the money is returned to the winning players. Any money Al makes he donates to charity. On the relatively rare occasions that I win, the money goes for pot.

Last week, I came in first. This week I came in second. 

That says bad things about the quality of the other players, because I'm not that good.

But not that bad, either.

During the game, Al and I have a video call going on. It's open to every player, but Al and I are the only users, most of the time.

I'm grateful for having a safe way to enjoy the company of my friends.

Diet Comment

I'm glad to post the loss, but really, I think I would have weighed the same as yesterday if I weighed in at the same time. Conversely, I think if I'd weighed myself at the usual time, I think this would have been what I weighed.
