After some days of balmy weather this week, suddenly we’re in the middle of a “heavy snowfall warning.” The accompanying 15 degree swing in temperatures has made sure that my office, and my fingers, are quite cold. I guess it serves me right for drinking Iced Tea.

So, I haven’t regaled you with poker stories here for a while. I played quite a bit on the weekend, and lost a lot of $10/$1 tournaments, which ate into my free bankroll, so I left the game alone for a bit. I did play a single $5/$1 tournament a couple of nights ago though, and managed to win it all through a little bit of luck. I got to the top two through good play, but without hitting some nice hands at crucial times once it went heads up, I would have finished second. The site that set up the $10,000 free tournament last month is having another one this month, and I still qualify, so I get to play in it (at least I think I do.) Anyway, I learned a lot about that kind of tournament poker in the interim, so I should be able to at least beat the people who don’t show up this time…

I read somewhere that the NHL is likely to cancel it’s season today or early next week. Fine by me… Any objections from anyone else?

Yesterday Jason mentioned something to me about that indoor football league that was announced last summer - I’d completely forgotten about it, so I did a quick search. Apparently they’ve abandoned any thought of starting play this year, but they’re still hoping for the league to be a go next year. I’m sceptical, though I’d still like to see it. I would probably get seasons tickets for the first season if they actually got going, and decide from there if I liked it enough to continue - though it’s unlikely that they’ll have a first season, let alone a second one.

Oh yeah, did I mention that my fingers are cold? I’m going to blame any typos on that, cause even though I’ve corrected about a million typos in this post, I’m sure I missed some.
