Avoiding the Cardinal Sin

The cardinal sin in poker, worse than playing bad cards, worse even than figuring your odds incorrectly, is becoming emotionally involved." - Katy Lederer

That's why it's sometimes best to fold your hand and place an order for some Chernobyl sized shrimp.

Fyi...They still sell tapes at Wal-Mart.

Jury Duty Part 2

One day of jury selection. One day of trial. And about 4 hours of
jury deliberation before returning a verdict of guilty for the
transport of a controlled substance. I did feel at one point, like I
was witnessing a legendary game of mafia.

True Story

5th grade. The only year I played school basketball. That is until I decided to try out for the the Wylie High School varsity team my Senior year. A senior could not be cut from the varsity team because they weren't eligible for the JV team. In the school's history only once a Senior failed to make the team. This individual was told he wasn't quite good enough to ever play but he decided to stay on the team anyway. I made up my mind early that if faced with "the talk" I would save face and quit. The summer before my senior year I went to three basketball camps and spent countless hours in the gym. I affectionately earned the label gym rat and well established members of the team would say things like "Coach has to keep you on the team as at least a defensive specialist". It was apparent to all that I was highly dedicated and hustle was my motto. Equally apparent was a lack of basketball knowledge and athleticism.

Day one Abilene Christian Basketball camp- First thing we did was divide into groups and practice drills so the Coaches could evaluate our strengths. "Alright guys, three man weave". "Go". Starting at half court a guy to my right passed me the ball. I took two dribbles and launched a wide open three. Air. I think one coach shook his head. I had never heard of the 3 man weave.

One week before the start of the season the Coach calls me into his office.

"I appreciate you coming out for the team this year." Pause. I feel slightly sick like I just sucked on a battery. "If you want to stay on the team you can but you won't play". We shook hands and with those words this picture remains the only one of me in uniform.

The only senior in school history to get "cut" from the team before me? His name was Chunk.

Jordans

They've come out with the newest Jordans (left) and the latest retro old school Jordans (right). If your 32 you can't help but think of 8th grade and that kid (the coolest of all kids) who rolled through the halls sporting these salty duds. You can only buy these new shoes if you buy both pair for $351. Criminal or Genius?

Injured...Injured Bad

Not all of us braved the class 3 rapids without retribution . My fearless father-in-law got a nasty bruise after he was violently tossed from the raft during a free fall over a 200ft waterfall. It was either a waterfall or he jumped out in a mild mannered stream. I can't remember exactly. At any rate, he wasn't injured as bad as the guy in this story.

Olympics

100 meters- In 1999 Maurice Green set the record at 9.79. It lasted for 6 six years until 2005. In the last 3 years the record has been broken 6 times. Bolt's record might have lasted another 6 years if he hadn't moonwalked across the finish line.

Hot Sports Opinion-Aside from Tiger Woods, Bolt's victory was the most amazing thing I've seen in sports in the last decade. All the Phelps stuff is great, but the difference is that it looked like Phelps was trying.

Oldest dude-At the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp, Swedish shooter Oscar Swahn collected a silver medal in the team double-shot running deer competition, becoming at age 72 the oldest Olympic medalist ever.

Horse talk- How does my horse get to China? Boeing 747, pressurized cargo bin, in a full metal crate. The reasons the equestrian events are not being held in Beijing is because horses are particularly prone to respiratory illnesses and Beijing could not guarantee a disease-free zone.

Just got back from Colorado and my tv receiver is toast. (Note to self: Stop making fun of people who call power strips, surge protectors).
