**** yeah 2021 welcome to the future woohoo!

The call of the wild 2020 was good if you're not put off by the computer graphics.

Hope to play live poker again this year

I haven't played a hand of poker since Feb 2020.

I'm looking forward to playing live poker as well. Hopefully by summer, maybe sooner, maybe later. I don't know. We need to get these vaccines going!

I had Covid early last month (do not recommend) but have recovered. I am planning a trip to Reno in two weeks to play the live pokers. (No LHE, alas.)

I first learned of what a thought palace is by reading Hannibal, at which time I decided that I liked the idea. This is my muse for my thought palace, it's Van Gogh's depiction of the hospital where he stayed in France. Back then they didnt really have good treatment for mental illness. I mean without mood stabilizers like we have today, how do you realistically keep Vincent from eating his paints? but I digress:



comes equipped with jacuzzi, poker study, basement files(hello bad beats never to be seen again), and golf course out back that I play when I'm trying to fall asleep.

some of you might know what I'm talking about. if not, here:

ive seen the idea used also in stephen king's Dreamcatcher, where some characters hid in their thought palaces to escape the mind control of the aliens.

on a more realistic level, i find having a safe place to go in my mind that provides familiarity in times of uncertainty, peace in times of war, comfort in times of pain(hello jacuzzi). etc etc.

i recommend this method of thought particularly for the visually minded individual. however sight is but one sense. feel the grass under your bare feet. smell the flowers or the steak cooking on the grill. hear the birds singing.

/mumbo jumbo.

Sorry to hear it man, glad you recovered - I've heard of people losing their senses of taste and smell, not fun.

Smell and taste completely unaffected. But it was not fun.

In. Glad you're not the worse statistic, AB.

Glad to hear mom is doing well through the pandemic, Howard. I will slam a hundo through a WOF slot in her honor this day. Socially distanced with mask, of course.

Man I am becoming a closet video game addict due to this pandemic. I’ve basically made my way through all the open world games on the switch now moving onto the RPGs and JRPGs. Suggestions and recommendations welcome

Congrats on Canterbury reopening, I am inclined to come sling some plastic discs soon because my slot addiction has gotten boring.

I lost my mom yesterday.

Very sorry to hear about your loss, Bob. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

I'm sorry for your loss, Bob.

Been there, done that. It sucks. Sorry to hear that, Bob.

Sorry to hear, Bob. Take good care of yourself during these tough times.

Thanks guys.

my sympathies bob

Bob, so sorry for your loss. You have our deepest condolences.

Hang in there Bob

I appreciate it. Ive been hiding from everything on the golf course. Was pretty ****ing windy today.

I was considering my behavior over the next few days and the solution presented itself.

Act how mom would have wanted me to. Things with siblings might take some time for me to think before speaking but if I do what she would have wanted me to do then it will be fine.
