short-term memory loss

quote of the day
"my advice to you is to get married. if you find a good wife, you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher."
- socrates

so i havent really played much poker the last few days. what else is new?

the last couple weeks, i've been invigorated by playing tennis again, so im trying to play as much as possible now. i was playing in a class on monday night and i jumped on this one shot....landed...and rolled my left ankle over. i heard some cracking noises as my ankle bent in a way that god did not intend. so with all the adrenaline in me, i decided to keep playing through it. i was limping around a bit, but i was alright. i then stayed 45 minutes after the class ended and played with some people who wanted to stay. probably not the smartest thing.

got back home, and my ankle was swollen like....like....i dunno, i can't think of a clever analogy. it was big. and sore. the next morning, i couldn't put any weight on it. i got some crutches, and have been hobbling all over the place. the swelling still hasn't gone down, so i went to the doc today. she told me it was a bad sprain, and gave me this walking boot thing that reaches my knee cap. its really stylish.

so i've been stuck at home, having to skip my week of tennis, hoping ill feel better by monday. one would think this would be a great opportunity to get some poker in, right? get back to the grind during this unfortunate time??? think again....im rapidly improving at madden '09, and i think im suffering from short-term memory loss, cause i dont recall anything else i have done over the last 3 days.

Hi, great surprise to see you here.

It's amazing to follow your games because you win quite often (also against other strong oponents) by basically just checking and calling.
