Turkey Day

Had a good meal with my girlfriend, mother and brother today.

Beat brother in Stratego and beat all 3 of them in Monopoly and Scrabble, for the clean 3-0 sweep.

Only got in 13 games tonight but I played extremely well and the results showed. 10-3 at the FTP 55s.

Going to be moving up again soon on FTP to finish off the last stretch of my bonus before I (probably) head back to PS.

I've improved a lot or some of my improvement started to show lately, I've felt a lot better about many spots and I'm finding more/better spots to exploit players.

I think I've ran pretty bad the last month or so, so this "sudden improvement" will probably look a lot bigger than it really is on the stat sheet, but either way I'm happy.

I wanted to play a lot more today but I've been detained with some stuff related to brewing for the last hour or so (my buddy got online).

We're doing a lot of stuff that should bring our beers to the next level. A lot of things are improving at once and we're near a "regular" stout (regular as in something we'd regularly brew without changes).

We also have a keg and wine fridge so we'll be drinking beers on tap now with better heads. The fridge will also allow us to second ferment a wider/better range of beers.

We have a very special beer planned in the next week, it should be ready by new year's and it's going to be insane. I'll talk more about that in the future, but I'm really excited about it.

I bought one of Anthony Bourdain's books from Border's the other day. For those of you who are not familiar with Bourdain, he hosts travel channel's "No Reservations." He's a pretty bad ass chef who travels around the world trying out food and experiencing the culture. I recommend the show to anybody really, and the book is great so far. He has a very Hunter S. Thompson esque writing/narrating style, that's probably the best way to describe him.

Anyways, going to read the book for awhile and get some sleep. I'm way behind on my 600 game goal this month, I'll be lucky if I end up at 500.

Oh, and I posted a hand in the 2+2 HU forum tonight. I don't normally post hands due to like a bunch of factors. Here's the link, I found the hand to be very interesting and it's not more of a question of what I should do, I felt very definitive in my decision in this hand and probably still will tomorrow. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=13080219&an=0&page=0#Post13080219
