Office vultures and loving Doyle

Tis the season…
Gifts from vendors have started to arrive in the office. When a big box gets delivered, everyone gathers to see what treasures it contains. Wine (the favourite, but difficult to share), chocolate, cookies, fruit…it all gets ooooohed and ahhhhed over before it gets ripped open and devoured.
Clearly we need more excitement in our days.
I’m going to try not to gain 48765803876lbs this season.

I started writing some commentary about Monday’s High Stakes Poker episode, but it got boring so I deleted it al, because really, all I want to say is I heart Doyle Brunson.
My favourite Doyleism was actually from last week’s episode. After Jamie Gold and Farha made fools out of themselves over the AA v KK hand, Doyle (after referring to them as Dumb and Dumber) turned to Barry Greenstien and muttered:
“If my Daddy knew I was a loser in this game he’d roll over in his grave”
Oh Doyle, you had me at Dumb and Dumber.
This week I loved how he handled Guy Laliberte not wanting to turn over his hand when Doyle called his huge check-raise on the turn. The pot was over $800,000. Doyle said:
“You don’t want to turn over your cards after you asked to see mine? Ok” and shrugged.
He totally called Guy out, without being a jerk about it. Guy turned over his cards.
Class and a quick wit – not much more you can ask for in a man. Oh, and he has nice, warm hands too

My tiny little footprint on the net has been getting smaller and smaller the last few weeks but not because of anything major. Nothing extraordinary and spectacular is occurring other than prepping my mind and liver for the upcoming Vegas trip. Thing…
