Blog Three: Group'em!

Playing more online poker today. I started off getting smoked but I'm up a few bucks now, mainly due to lucky cards. I am still not a good player. Still too aggressive.

Today is a lazy day, resting, as tomorrow is a travel day. I anticipate few truly lazy days after BabyRickJay hits the scene so I may as well enjoy them while I can.

Excuse me while I fold a king and a five in early position. There we go.

My favourite online hangout is the Straight Dope Message Boards, at www.straightdope.com/sdmb, where hundreds of the world's smartest humans discuss matters of earth-shaking importance, and lesser stuff too. I am one of the resident experts on baseball, as you might imagine. Today's discussions centred around the recent steroid scandal, which I frankly find too boring and irritating to discuss. It eventually became an argument over the Hall of Fame credentials of Mark McGwire, Jim Rice, and for some reason Vida Blue (in my opinion: Probably, no, and no.)

To hell with poker today, I'm quitting while I'm ahead.

I've also been reading Dr. Spock's Book of Baby And Child Care. Most of his advice is very good, but man, what a nut when it comes to vegetarianism. Screw that. I want my baby eating pureed Porterhouses as soon as possible. I'm going to be jamming chicken breasts, short ribs and pork chops into the blender the moment the kid's six months old. Meat! MEEEEEEEAAT! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAT

Phew, got a bit carried away there.
