Most of you know, I live in the Washington DC area. Snow days over the last few years have been, well, almost non-existent. Our area gets mostly rain or sleet. Don't know why, I am not a meteorologist. The only thing I know is NEVER trust the Weatherman, or Weather Channel, when it comes to predicting the weather.

It's 7:00 now, and I have been up for an hour, have to go back to the theater and hang more lights. That process is laborious, at best.

But I love it.

When I started playing online poker, it was all for fun. I had no cash to gamble with, so I started amassing play chips, just as an ego boost.

When I had the ability to actually deposit some money, I was very careful, but refining my online game. Starting at the $300, I would play in these games during lunch, just using the Pokah! forum to chit chat.
