The Junkie and the Monk

Comedian Mike Destefano tells a very touching story about how he almost killed himself. It’s 18 minutes plus, but you will hear it to the end, I guarantee. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Or – if you have problems starting the player (seems to have some issues in Chrome of all browsers), then [...]

Floatsam and Jetsam

1) I’ve gone at least two months without wilfully killing anyone. Or to be exact – anything. I guess this calls for an explanation: It began as an inspiration from a buddhist podcast that I heard a while ago. Can’t remember which, but I remember that part of it was about reincarnation and was a [...]

It’s been awfully quiet here, lately. My sincere apologies. It’s not like I haven’t been at the tables, but I usually finish so late, that posting is near impossible if I want a decent chance to go to bed before I have to get up again. Poker’s going okay. I’m not scott free but I’m [...]

The fever’s been replaced by a generel state of hotness. Summer has hit full force here, so even if I was feeling well again, I’d still be playing very little poker. Most of the time is spent outside, or inside making cold (non-alcoholic) drinks and ice cream in multiple flavors. What a nice hobby that [...]
