Now some of you might be saying, “Gil, this is just plain weird, we don’t do it like that up here in the P-N-Dubya”. To that I say, “We do now!” Others of you may say, “Gil, I don’t drink or smoke cigars.” To that I say, “so long as you can have fun drinking tap water and chewing on a toothpick this is an event not to be missed.” And others of you may say, “Gil, I live in the burbs and have to get home to my kids.” To that I say, “what’s another couple hours of daycare”.

OK, we have an official website. If you view the pictures (don’t forget to read Stas’ email invites to the bay area chapter events — they are legendary…he uses english in a very unconventional way) you’ll see that even movie stars have crashed our bay area event, so who knows what might happen in the Rose City.

Puff ‘n’ Sip commences on Thursday the Thirteenth of July two-thousand and six @ 4:48:30 PM – mark your calendars now.

That was the longest game EVER, and the winner is……

Brian Baker! who after almost 5 hours took it all. Quote:

“I was nicely buzzed as well. No dinner makes the booze hit a bit harder. But you gotta stay focused when playing serious poker…”

Also to be mentioned Julia Cope, GR Medina, and Lori McLeese (second, third and the hopeful…) that made it to the final game. I got kicked off twice…

Special thanks to Darius for providing thoughtful tchotchkes for the tourney.

More good news this week! Let me quickly recap the medical advancements so far:

1. Drinking is good (see the earlier post)

2. Drinking lots of coffee is very good and is even better if you are drinking. Next steps on the research roadmap:3. Smoking fights fatigue and weight gain.

First — read all the way to the bottom.

Second — Whoa! Getting older never sounded better — social security kicks in, health care is self-managed and (!!!) — It’s GOOD to drink more often! I am not kidding you — scientifically proven (thanks RC for pointing this out): So starting tomorrow I am training for my retirement pace.
