Too Many Taquitos, Too Few Aces
Got creamed in cards last night. Texas hold 'em with the Desperate Houseguys. Lotta lousy last-minute beats, including a devastating dagger on the river that sent me reeling. Didn't help that I also chased a 12-pack of Bud Lite with 10 too many taquitos. (That's a great title for my autobiography: "Too Many Taquitos.") On top of everything, I have to have my column picture taken today and I look even more like a bloated Abe Vigoda. I'm screwed.

Good thing the camera doesn't add 20 lbs.

Just saw my new column picture. I swear you can see the toupee glue running down my cheeks.

The playlist is a nice one, but I mostly want to hear if my brother-in-law is a good poker player or not...

Your "brother-in-law" started off the "season" doing incredibly "lousy." But lately there's a confidence in his eye -- and about 40 of my dollars in his wallet.
You sis has been playing a wee bit of cards lately, as well. Not sure how she's doing, though. They don't let the guys play in their reindeer games.
