Poker is life. Life is poker.

Just when you think…

November 27th, 2005

The world’s not all bad.

A neighbor knocked on my door tonight. He had a plate of food in each hand. I’m not starving but it’s damn nice to think that someone is thinking about me. It’s not the food, it’s the principle.

The food’s not bad, either. Turkey and bread and an entire chocolate pie. He even threw in some of his homemade salsa. (He’s a mexican and his salsa is a private recipe. It’s as good and as hot as it gets. I LOVE it!)

I’m very fortunate. I have great neighbors on both sides of me.

This world’s not such a bad place to be. I have far more love than I deserve.

Cool neighbor. It’s nice to be on the receiving end of somebody’s thoughtfulness, isn’t it?

There’s nothing like homemade salsa….I love it when it’s like pico or when it’s more blended….mmm, I could drink it.

I’ve known some fine Mexicans myself. I used to work with a guy whose wife made the best tamales. When she found out how much I liked em she made it a point to send extra with her husband to work on nights when she made them for his lunch.

I think we’ve lost appreciation for simple acts that demonstrate heart and hearth values. When someone cares enough to do something like bring a meal it means a lot.
