I'm in Texas visiting my mom and my sisters. We're having a small family reunion to celebrate my mom's birthday. She lives out in the sticks, just a stones throw from Crawford.

One of her neighbors that knows that I'm from Las Vegas told me about a little poker game that happens occassionally when one of the guys at a nearby ranch is in town and I was invited. Of course, I had to give up my social security number in advance to get a clearance.

Anyway, we went last night and played. I was able to "harvest" a couple of chips from the host's home poker set. I was too intimidated to get any more than these two because of the guys in suits and dark glasses that kept talking into their sleeves.

It was fun and I even won a little bit of money!

Today we're off to Canton for First Monday (a HUGE flea market). Maybe I'll find some goodies there!
