some random thoughts

My parents visited my house for the first time this weekend. We watched the manny pacquiao fight on saturday night at the casino. I was surprised at how crowded it was for just a fight. I think they need to televise an event like this to bring boxing back. It was an amazing fight in that margarito was so much taller and bigger yet still got pummeled. Manny did get hurt though from a few uppercuts.

My fantasy teams are rolling. Tied for best record in the league in one, & on a five game winning streak in the other. This despite a slew of injuries.

Didn't play much this weekend due to folks visiting. I did play a short session with my dad watching, and ran into a few interesting spots. Got it all in with middle set against a flush draw that couldn't fade the river.
