I put in a total of about 100 hands today due to internet connectivity problems. I am not quite sure what is up, but I lost my motivation to fix it after about 20 minutes when I was fairly tilted and decided not to play any more. It has also been difficult to answer HH, so I will be a bit behind on those. Sick winrate for the session, though.

My wife finished putting together my Father-in-law's website a while ago and wants me to help spread the word. He has been painting for 40 years, but never really promotes himself. We have a lot of his stuff hanging in the house. I am glad I like it so much. Check it out here. If that didn't work it is because I am a technological donk and not because your comp is malfunctioning.

We are trying to find a preschools for my son who will start in the fall. The best one we have seen so far (pretty much a perfect fit) is the one that my daughter went to for the past two years, but that is now a 25 minute drive from us since we moved, and we are searching for something comparable. I visited one yesterday which was supposedly play-based, but they do evaluations and sometimes hold kids back from going on to the second year of preschool which is pretty screwed up if you ask me (on what grounds do you hold back a 3 year old?) They also separate the three and four year olds and I thought that was a bit strange at first, but after looking around, it seems to be the norm. A lot of preschools say one thing but actually do another thing. Supposedly the one I looked at yesterday had "healthy" snacks, but that means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, I guess, because they had sandwiches with overly processed lunch meat and cheese "singles," which I find to be unhealthy in so many ways it isn't funny.

I am going to look at another couple of preschools on Friday, but I have a feeling that we will be making the commute three days per week because I don't want to skimp on my kids education.

Valentine's day is coming up and I am dreading it. It must have been really traumatic for me at the restaurant last year because I keep feeling compelled to write about it in my blog. I will take a little time next week and write something decent about it.

Play well. Do good work. Keep in touch.
