I'm back....

...but not to poker quite yet. And if the Senate votes to ban internet poker I may never be back :( Why have I been gone? Two words, burnout and WOW. That's World of Warcraft. So why go from a game that I make money to one where I have to pay? Good question, glad you asked. It's because with WOW I never go to sleep hating myself for bluffing off a big portion of my stack. I can play like a donkey and go to bed happy :)

I have been cooking like a fiend, however. Let's see, I MADE my own bratwurst, smoked a brisket for 12 hours and too much else to mention.

The trip to Paris is ON! I've registered for class and have my airline ticket. Looking to book a hotel soon.

OK, I'm going to scuttle back under the woodwork like a good little cockroach. See y'all again when I post next. I'll at least post in December when I get back from my trip...maybe even before ;)
