Soon it’s time to book another month, and it is time to take a final run at the tables to make sure you end the month as good as youpossibly can.  This month has been a  little swingier than previous months this year, but it still looks like I will book 100% plus months so far this year

You have to not only play poker. You can read about poker and watch poker on TV as well;)  I haven’t read anything today, but I checked out the new episode of HSP.  I’m also starting to miss AJ Benza more and more.  Kara Scott is doing nothing for the program, PokerStars sponsorship is starting to annoy me, and Gabe felt at the beginning of the program that he himself had grown tired of being alone.  The game is still of mixed quality. Dennis Philips demonstrates how to call away millions with his continued passive game. Dwan continues to switch gears and thanks to his image and his constant pressure, he gets action in situations where he should not. Maybe I should start looking at Durrr challenge instead?

Tomorrow at 8:30 pm it’s Earth Hour.  Earth Hour is global effort towards a better environment.  The whole world will come together and turn off their light and anything else electric for an hour.  I’m definately participating, are you?

Today something fun happened ! I was on my way home from a squash match and came walking down the hill when I caught sight of an old lady standing at a pedestrian crossing. The lady looked desperate and sought to attract attention of by-passers frantically waving her arms.  I could not just ignore the poor lady and when I took a few steps in her direction, she said “please, can you help me cross the street?“. At first I thought  it was a joke  and that there was a hidden camera or something.  Since it was a kid, it’s something you read about in magazines, which was always used as an example of good deed, but which I’ve NEVER seen happen.  Of course, I handed up the arm and led the now very happy and grateful lady across the street.  She thanked me at least 10 times, and wished me a Happy Easter as I continued home.  Sometimes it’s easy to make someone else happy :)
