in my ears: Love And Rockets/Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven/Inside The Outside

there are a few shows on tv i *really* like with prime examples being survivor and the amazing race. i also like watching the various Texas Hold'em shows that are cropping up everywhere. reminds me of the college days when i lifeguarded as a summer gig (good times) and participated in many a late night poker, beers and cigars smack down.

anyways, that was then and this is now. so, i watch the shows from time to time and trey, my 4yr son, has latched onto them as well to the point that he no longer wants to play uno but instead wants to play "river card." thinking why not we started playing, as a family, about a month back and it has turned out to be a regular event, sans beers, cigars and chips mind you. i am amazed with how quickly trey learns winning hands, shouting out "i'm so happy" when he happens a good draw, not the best "poker face" but very cute non e the less. further, the kid get's more aces then his fair share.

having participated in family night texas hold'em for over a month now i believe trey is learning a ton in the areas of pattern matching (flushes), sequencing (straights), groupings (full house) and the like. fun and educational ... can't beat that! he now shouts out phrases like "be there for me" and "i got diddly" throwing down his bad hands.

life is good!

just posted a brief myjxta.next brain dump. basically ideas that folks with varying ideas, interests and/or skillsets can feel welcome to contribute as applicable. i'm glad i took the time to snarf the screenshots as that hook alone has prompted a half dozen new folks to give myjxta a try.

lessons learned: eye candy ... [hmmmm, can't think of a catchy phrase] ... do it!
