Ill Be Back in a Bit

I finished 5th overall in the Adirondack Poker League making it to heads-up my final week which was last Friday night.. Top Tenners tourney this week with guaranteed payout and then the Tourney of Champs next week another guaranteed payout and Im done.

Papa IG was sent by ambulance to the hospital yesterday and I've been running back and forth about 40 Miles each way while trying to work and take care of his Standard Poodles (I was able to get the breeder to check in on the dogs) and coordinate with my sister who lives two hours away in Westport CT. He's had over 4 units of blood as it appears he was bleeding internally due what we think is a bleeding ulcer which he didnt know he had. Upper GI scheduled for tomorrow which will hopefully find the cause of the bleeding.

Word to the wise guys and gals if you have symptoms of Acid reflux or Gerd get it checked out. My dad has had sypmptoms on and off for years but "endured" it. Our bodies react for a reason.

No time for basketball pools online poker or much of anything else. Im beat!!

At this point Vegas in 2008 is out. Ive been burning time up for family stuff and with the price of everything (food, gas, etc) going up and my own kideny issues I decided this is a stay at home year. I'll garden and do some concerts instead.
