0 for 1 so far today. I'll edit this post instead of putting up multiple posts.
Edit: 0 for 3, but my system locking up was the biggest cause for the 3rd one.

King of the Mountain
Over at www.getastake.com, I am running a series of stakes that will culminate in the horse playing a $107 90 player triple or nothing sit and go at Poker Stars. So far, 1 person has completely busted, and the others are still running.
Here's the plan:
Stake Details:
Step 1:
Start with 5 x 2.20 Satellites to the 1/4 million. As you win them, unregister from the 1/4 million for the $T. Run these until you reach $25.00
Step 2:
At $25, start playing $5.40 double or nothings. Do this until the bankroll reaches $60. If bankroll drops below $16.40, go back to Step 1.
Step 3:
At $60, start playing $11 double or nothings. If the bankroll falls below $40, go back to Step 2.
Step 4:
When bankroll reaches $118, congratulations, you can now play a $107 triple or nothing.
If you lose this tournament, you will still have $11 left. You may cash out or start climbing the mountain again. If you lose the triple or nothing, there is no shame. You went the distance, you just didn't claim the prize.
Upon reaching Step 4, you may opt out of the challenge and Ring the Bell. You will be a quitter. Your name shall be carved upon the list of washouts. We shall make fun of you. The shame may be too much for you to show your face in the forums again. But you can quit at this point.
At any time, you may play a Step lower than your current one. If you want, you can play the 2.20 satellites all the way up to $118 before playing the triple or nothing.
I am going to take this challenge myself, and will blog my results. I have started by taking some of my FPPs and playing a 210 FPP to the 1/4 million. I have unregistered, and have $11 in Tourney Dollars to start my climb.

Been busy
OK. I've neglected my blog. Bad Zorag, no donut!
I've been trying to lose a bit of weight. I'm comfortable being 250 or less, but had crept up to 260. I'm 6'5, and if I get down under 220 I don't look healthy. If I get down to 200, I look like I need to be in the hospital. That's been frustrating, as I've basically been eating less in a day than I would at a big meal.
Trucking has been aggravating lately, but all in all, it's good.
Poker has been giving me a headache. Over at www.getastake.com (GAS) I have been doing ok with staking, but totally screwed my game up by playing no limit hold'em (NLHE) tournaments. I'm good at limit Omaha hi/lo. That is until I screw up my game.
Chad, OwnTheDream, and I are starting a new podcast, Beef Beer and Poker: Everything from Steaks to Stakes. It's basically going to be about the stuff you would talk about at a home poker game. We already registered the domain, so too bad!
Gotta go, heading home.

Legislating online poker
Can someone please provide me with a link to the full text of Barney Frank's recent bill to legislate online gambling? I can find reviews of it, but not the actual bill itself.

8 years old
Megan's birthday was yesterday. She wanted to go to Taco Bell for Nachos Bell Grande for her birthday dinner. She has wanted those since I ordered them a few months ago.
Today is her party, and she's having a traffic party.
Not much else to update right now. I need to go back and get through my to do list.
