Recent thoughts too long for Twitter

- I applied to play in PokerStars’ World Blogger Championship of Online Poker (WBCOOP).  I doubt they’ll accept my application, given how often I update this here blog.

Feline thoughts

- I am not a cat person, I’m a dog person.

Tuesday Thoughts

- While I didn’t see the home run derby last night, I did see highlights on the news and hear the recap on sports radio this morning. I really wish Josh Hamilton had won it, though. Is there a better story in baseball right now than Josh Hamilton? A number one overall [...]
