I wrote this a little while back....

I finished the crypto bonus I was working on, and booked another win at the same time, this time it was all LIMIT...It feels good! I also found a couple hundred bucks I had forgotten about at a site I don't play at much (obviously) so that was a nice surprise. I guess I will join the rest of the poker world, and grab the 200 bonus from Empire... If the weather holds, I will be starting my herb garden later on.

And then...

The Empire bonus was finished...Man!!! The games were pretty funny overall, as the 25s were HILARIOUS!! I bet and bluffed more in that short period of time that I have in 3 months. I didn't win much, but it was sure fun...I soon tired of the 25s and went to the 50s (which resembled "real" poker) where I got my ass whipped...I got stacked twice with 3 and 4 outers, and lost another stack with KK vs. The monster A9---running 9s---Jesus...
So it was a lot of hands to get 50 bucks, but you still have to love the bonuses!!

The eggplant ideas came out great, as I had some recipes I had written down years ago, and finally tried them...Yummy!! The latest food challenge is to re-create a sesame chicken dish that a local place does a really good job with... The herb garden has been started...It has rained MANY days in a row here, but there was a window of 2 or so hours where I could play in the garden...

And thanks for reading Greg, I think you were the first response---keep kickin ass....

Book Review

Radical Evolution : The Promise and Peril of Enhancing Our Minds, Our Bodies -- and What It Means to Be Human by Joel Garreau

The author is a writer and editor for the Washington Post, so this book was well written and (I think) well researched. The reason I threw in the WP reference is that there was a refreshing lack of an agenda here...Overall, this book was very interesting with glimpses of the future that truly stagger the imagination. There are several approaches and views of this "super hi-tech world", some of which sounds exhilarating, and some is just plain scary shit. I'm an old school guy, and I have no idea how any of this will affect me personally, but I'm glad I read the book.
