couple updates about this year

baseball - had an arm injury and had to shut it down half way through the year. Aggravated my rotator cuff when I threw about 175 pitches in a 10 inning game (yeah I know it was stupid). the team really had a terrible year and none of us were proud of our showing or the results. I'll be back and ready for next year though. I've been working out pretty frequently but I'm planning on cutting back on my nov-feb throwing and instead focusing on really cranking it up the final 3 months before the season.

poker - I'm not sure how much info I really want to go into in terms of my final tally for the year. I'll think about this and post more around the end of the month. I've become a little reluctant to post graphs because I'd rather not people think I'm bragging when often I believe I am just running hot. However it would probably make sense to post an end of the year graph just to see how things turned out.

life - I just got engaged although anyone who knows me well won't be surprised. We've been dating for about 9 years and already had begun planning the wedding a few months ago. getting married next october when finally my income won't be taken into account in her financial aid as a med student. I gave her the engagement ring this weekend while we were celebrating our dating-anniversary, and she seems really really ecstatic with it. I was glad it turned out so well because I spent a lot of time searching for the right diamond and in the end the found just a fantastic stone. The guy that helped me out is a jeweler in NY that was unbelievably helpful and really made the whole process much much easier. If anyone is looking for a diamond, an engagement ring, or whatever let me know and I'll put you in touch with him. His name is Josh Kadet and he works for Kadella in NYC.

so there's a little more detailed update for anyone still following along.

later

still playing still doing well

somebody posted a comment. I'm stil mass tabling 2/4-5/10 FR. Have had a lot of great success and I can't complain about how I'm running (thanks poker gods).

not much else happened this fall. I've thought about starting to update the blog again but I'm not sure there is enough poker stuff to talk about to make it worthwhile.

we'll see.

happy holidays

Jim
