Tour de France
I have developed a passion for the Tour de France over the last 10 years. It started with Lance, but now extends to 30 or 40 riders in the field. I sometimes listen to David talk about horse racing in a way that shows…
OK, I’m Ready For This Week To Be Over
For those that follow along on a regular basis, you’ll have read the post about the passing of Arnold Huberman. In 30 years as my best friend, I’ve never seen David struggle with his emotions until this week. Despite that, he eulogized his father…
In Fond Memory of Arnold Huberman
David Huberman has been my best friend since shortly after I stopped wetting diapers. Consequently, over the last 30 years, his family has become my family. His mother, Phyllis, stood in as my mother at my wedding. David called me today to tell me…

Christy Busted
Nothing momentous, about 300 places from the money. Everyone should be very proud of her!
Bellagio Bustville
After playing like a donkey for the better part of 2 hours, I doubled up and was back in the tournament. I got lucky on a squeeze play and ended up just below avg. To this point, I had not been dealt a pair…
Dinner Break
Christy made it to dinner break with 10k. She ended up flopping a set with presto to double up. When she gets back from dinner, they’ll play until about 1 am. She feels like she’s a little more comfortable, playing more hands.
