This year looked as if I would miss the WSOP Circuit in Tunica for the second straight year.  That was until last week when PokerNews called me up and asked if I wanted to help cover the Main Event.  Considering that my main client has recently cut his budget and my other client has me on hold, I jumped at the chance.   I’m going to head down on Friday and may even play in an event on Saturday, but I don’t know.   I may just stick to some cash games and see what I can do.  The event will be fun to a degree as I should see a few people I know down there.  I wish I could play a little more than I am, but I have other things going on.

My weight loss is still going well.  I am down 12 lbs officially.  My workouts are going well also.  My stamina has increased to the point where my trainer wants to make my circuits longer.  That’s fine by me.  The wierd thing is that I am developing muscles that I don’t remember having before.  Of course, that’s a good thing.

I have developed a deeper appreciation for a certain friend this past week.  For several years now, I have always been the one that made her stop and think about things regarding life, etc.  Lately, she has turned the tables on me and challenged me as to my motivation behind my weight loss, etc.  She was concerned that I was doing over a particular girl.  I had to go over the reasons that I am doing this, which are primarily for my health and not for any “potential future.”  She also gave me her opinion…in full detail about certain things.  Yes, I am being a little vague, but the details are private.  Suffice it to say that I am glad that she said what she did, if for no other reason than to show that she cares about me more than I thought.  She also made me think about several things too.

Anyway, I have begun to really start to follow the show House M.D. with a great deal of seriousness lately.  I don’t normally get into hospital or doctor dramas, but this one is different.  I actually identify quite a bit with House and Wilson actually reminds me a lot of my friend I was speaking about above.  I’ve went back to start watching Season 1 and will start working my way through the show until I have all the eps watched.  Maybe this will be my new CSI.

Btw, I think that Grissom’s last episode is how they should have ended CSI as a series.  I will probably watch the show…but it will never be the same.
