They say that all the poker you play is just part of one long session, and that everything evens out over time. It’s just as well, though, that they didn’t pop round to my house last night to tell me that.

What the heck, I figured – might as well play a few rounds while I’m here…
Summer is officially passing. OK, summer is unofficially passing - my birthday has been and gone, thus marking the drift into Autumn, clocks going back, leaves everywhere. To mark the passing, we gathered around the barbecue to burn lumps of meat.
