Two Goals Accomplished

I'll admit, I don't have any tangible way of measuring the goal of becoming a "more visible blogger", but I would have to think this would qualify:

Full Tilt Poker Game #5795568325: $6 + $0.50 Sit & Go (Turbo) (44119761), Table 1 - 15/30 - Pot Limit Omaha Hi - 21:08:31 ET - 2008/03/26

I ended up going out something like the 8th hand when some random donk made a poor call as an 8:1 underdog and goes runner-runner on my ass.

I'm surprised when I find out actual bloggers read this thing, let alone non-bloggers. Any confirmation that someone is reading this thing is an honor. I encouraged Maniac57 to join the Mookie tonight, so if you see him at a blogger game anytime soon, please welcome him.

And if you're wondering, I'll be signing autographs at the Walmart in Renton this Saturday from 12 to 1.
