Another short update...and I mean that pretty much literally. As I was getting out of a chair to go sign up for an event this morning, my back decided that it was better off where it was and told me to take a day or two off. Since I suddenly couldn't walk, much less sit down in a lousy chair comfortably anymore, I decided to listen to it. So, poker's temporarily on hold, although I did get some razz hands in today online prepping for Friday's razzament.

Time to get some exercise, I guess. I've been eating surprisingly well out here and am probably losing some weight, but the second part of the 'diet and ...' phrase is another story. It's one of the hidden pitfalls of the poker lifestyle - not one person I've known for over 2 years on the circuit is less than ten pounds heavier than they used to be when I met them, and nobody lifts weights or runs much, either. In everything but the poker (and often that, too), laziness is really endemic out here.

Okay, enough depression. If I can move around without killing myself tomorrow, I'll play the 5K event; if not, I'll wait till razz on Friday. There are another dozen or so events I want to get in before the ME, so here's hoping for a better final two thirds of the Series than the first third.
