I forgot to mention the Whale Watch.  I can't believe I didn't gain any weight, because I have just been eating way too much.  This is going to sound INCREDIBLY lame, but my ankle feels worse than it did a month ago so I haven't really thought about an exercise program. God I'm pathetic!  But I'm happy!  Fortunately, the weather's been nice and I've been doing some more things outside.  I'm not giving up on losing weight by the end of the year tho.

HANDS

I hit a rare milestone during my last session.  There's something called a bad beat jackpot offered at some casinos, where if you get a great hand (usually some middling four of a kind) and lose the hand, you get a progressive jackpot.  I finally had a hand in my poker-playing career that would have qualified for a BBJ (if FT had one - but they don't).  I've been running like crap this month and this is pretty much the icing on the cake.
