One of the best things about playing poker full time is that I get to be there for all events related to the family.  I've been around D pretty much 24/7 his whole life.  One of the things I enjoy doing is going with D and Mrs. Fly to the pediatrican visits.  It's kind of like getting your exam results back when you're pretty sure you did well.  I hear it's possible to have the pediatrician call social services if he/she suspects you're a fuck-up at parenting.  Actually, this reminds me of the time I thought I aced a test and I ended up barely passing.  I can't remember what the details were.  Imagine that!  Senile Man can't remember something.

D is in the 75th percentile for height (takes after dad) and 25th percentile for weight (takes after mom).  I pride myself as knowing how to get fat (see whale watching sidebar), so it's a little irritating to me that he's so thin.  It's one thing to be in the 25th percentile for height - then being in the 25th percentile for weight is normal.  But because he's tall, he looks even thinner than a normal 25th percentile weight baby.  Something about a skinny baby just doesn't look right.  He eats well, so I'm hoping its just a phase he's going through.  Anyway, all his stats are in the "normal" range so it's not a big deal.  But all things being equal, I believe that it's better for kids to be a little heavier than lighter - they have so much growing ahead of them that it's better for them to be slightly over nourished than under.  Imagine that!  Mr. Fatty thinks it's okay for kids to be overweight than underweight.

HANDS

I consider myself one of the more controlled players in the game.  But once in a while, I'll make a play that's just unbelievably mindboggling.  I got a good laugh out of this.  Villain is a reg and I think we've played enough for him to know that I'll occasionally take a tricky/passive line with a good hand.

[Villain's been a little sticky to pots vs me, so I'm thinking if I bet, he's going to float me and try and take it away on a later street.  So then I hatch this brillaint plan where he'll have to put in a lot of money and fold to me on the river...  Mu ha ha ha...]

Um...  except he flopped the flush.  Doh!  I've been trying some different things lately, but I may have to bury that one.  Altho he did fold a lot more afterwards.  Hmm...  I only need 30-40 of those tiny pots to make up for this ONE tho...
