Turkey Time (and a little Texas Hold 'em)

It is that time again. The holiday hype has begun. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentine's Day, and on and on. We seem to like to cram the winter months with as many holidays as possible.

To all my readers (Eddie and Jessica that's the two of you) I will be out of town for the next week. I'm going down to the land of Refineries and Oil fields. Ahh good ol south east Texas.

I will eat turkey, potatoes, and maybe just maybe some good gumbo. I will also play poker. Turkey and poker, those just sound like a holiday in and of themselves. My uncle is hosting a Texas Hold'em tournament and i get to play. I predict one of two things, I will be the first out or the last in. I think I have good poker skills but in fact I am a stark raving idiot when it comes to this game. I know what beats what, I'm a fairly successful liar, but strategy and such are not my forte. I would rather have a cranium or trivial pursuit tournament. So wish me luck and that I at least last longer than someone else.

Enjoy your turkey day, time with familiy, parades and football games, and some good nap time.
