2012 has started with a bang. A busy start at my place of work, which I do not mind all that much. We’re also changing our residence with all it entails, including packing all your stuff into several boxes and moving them from point A to point B…or in my case point A to point B (hopefully this will be a short phase) and from point B to point C. Add to that a rather cold winter for our little island and an infant son who still has to build his immune system and you can imagine why I decided to call this blog “Interesting Times”.
What this means is that I will not have too much time to update this blog, most regrettably might I dare add. This does not mean I will not be doing further background research including quite a bit of reading on my kindle. Which brings me to my most recent purchase a book called “Cowboys Full: The Story of Poker” by James McManus. I am still reading the book but I must say that I never expected what I found so far. This book is rich in American history offering an incredible insight into the game (poker) that was played (and is still played) by future presidents, generals and rough necks. Yet it’s the historical perspective that takes centre stage while offering a deeper cultural understanding into the evolution of poker. Definitely a book I would recommend to anyone who professes to like card games.
For now I will sign off here hoping it will not be long until my next post.
