Five things I am thankful for:

1. Getting my tooth repaired this morning
2. Spotting a friend of mine playing in the WSOP on ESPN (he busted The Grinder)
3. The weather turning cooler
4. Breaking 80 on the golf course this weekend
5. Seeing four old friends that I have not seen in quite a while.

Life is Good, people. It, most likely, beats the alternative. I'm betting that my good friend, Paco, is pissed today that his beloved Buffalo Bills got beat in horrendous fashion last night on MNF. They'll have to "circle the wagons". In the poker world that loss last night for the Bills would be referred to as a Bad Beat. It should have been almost impossible for the Pats to win that game. The Bills had to get very unlucky to lose. Something like the kick returner fumbling on his own 30 yard line or something like that would have to happen. Oh yeah, it did happen just like that. Ouch.

I did win my fantasy football game against my sister in law's weak team. Sorry Sheryl, but my team rocks. I still had to sweat Terrell Owens and Fred Jackson, but in the end they came up short, thereby securing my victory in week one. The Brown-eyed Skidmarks are 1-0 and not looking back.

Prostitution is illegal. Strip tease is looked down upon. Waitresses let you see 65% of their entire breasts for a dollar tip. It's a well spent dollar, in my humble opinion.

My good friend Dean read something somewhere which stated you should try to chip with your bottom hand while playing golf. That is to say you should only have that hand on the club. It would be the right hand for a right handed golfer. The theory is that you will feel, directly, any incorrect movement that the hand may make. I decided to try it out while putting. Thank you Dean for the tip because I putted so well on Sunday that I am actually looking forward to playing again soon.

I want to thank all of my friends who had noticed that I was feeling a bit down. Your words of encouragement were needed and accepted. Sometimes even the lucky ones like to feel a bit of self pity, and I needed to be shown the light. I appreciate your honesty and thoughtfulness.

I wonder if the buy-in limits are ever going to go up here in Florida? If I have a vote, and I'm sure I do not, then I would vote for increasing the limits. Right now, as things stand, you can win $1000, and play with that money as long as you like, or at least until the casino closes. You cannot, however, win the grand one day, then go home, and bring the grand back with you and put it all on the table, at once, the next day. Does that make sense? I didn't think so.

It's almost time to hitch up my britches and play some poker. Wish me luck.

Codsey out.
