The meh week that was...  it's kind of disappointing to have only played 24K hands last week.  Even more disappointing is losing over $3K at 5/10+ in under 400 hands.  So much for bumhunting.  I should just stick to playing Rush.  Ah well, at least I'm still making money the old fashioned way... by luckboxing.

WHAT'S FOR DINNER

The other day, Mrs. Fly decided she wanted to make dumplings.  FWIW, Mrs. Fly makes the best pork/shrimp/chives dumplings.  You would basically have to go to a good dim sum restaurant to get better.  We had all these frozen wonton skins in the freezer, so she wanted to get rid of them.  The problems with dumplings tho is that it's kind of labor-intensive.  So she enlisted the help of her personal assistant/servant...  ME.

I'm actually pretty good at making dumplings, as I used to help my mom make them when I was younger.  But as my back was aching from being hunched over making all those dumplings, I hear the familiar squeals of laughter from my kids having fun in the family room.  And then I had an idea...  Asia is the continent of child labor.  Hordes of little kids G's age are probably assembling your Nike sneakers, Homer Simpson clock, and Member's Only jacket.  And *we're* Asian!  Just because we live in America doesn't mean we should let some traditions from the motherland die.  Get over here, G!!!

Alas, Mrs. Fly disagreed and said kids with a cold shouldn't me making any food.  So much for the "fun family activity" idea.  Oh well.  But my hopes and dreams of one day sitting with Mrs. Fly on the patio with a glass of wine while we watch the boys do the yard work and other chores around the house live on...

BTW, I'm just joking about the child labor...  Or am I?!?

BTW, I'm also joking about not enjoying making dumplings with Mrs. Fly...  Or am I?!?
