Tonight’s plans just changed from “reading” to “beer”

This week a package arrived… the latest book by poker pro Dan Harrington, Harrington on Online Cash Games; 6-Max No-Limit Hold ’em. I took it to work so I could read it on my breaks and at lunch. By afternoon break today I was down to my last 100 pages. “I’ll stay home tonight and finish it, and then start applying what I learned tomorrow,” I thought.

As I came back from my afternoon break, I thought to myself, “It probably doesn’t look good for me to have a poker book sitting on my desk, given that I work for a company that sanctions bridge.” So I stashed the book under my desk, out of sight, on top of my computer.

Bad idea. I hid the book too well. I forgot to take it home.

So, reading plans canceled for this evening. Time to catch the last hour of happy hour at the Saucer. Possibly other bars on the agenda later tonight.
