Solly gets some culture

Last nite I was schlepped to a concert at the snowy wastes city hall.  Very nice too,  and I didn't even sleep.  I was a bit perplexed though when I heard Deutchland Uber alles being played but apparently Haydn wrote it before Hitler.  I have been so excited  about my new granddaughter photos and I have been telling everyone I meet about Skype.  They might well notice a small impact in their Scandinavian business this week! 

I must admit it has been a good day for Solly (its my birthday actually) and I heard that my old Poker group in West london is being revived after the club closed.  Great news for me, I enjoy a game of cards and its not with the shul crowd so it makes a pleasant change.  At my shul its mostly bridge and kaluki which are not really my thing.  I remember my own zayde was a whiz at gin rummy and we used to play a lot.  I enjoy playing Texas hold 'em which is quite a diffficult game to master and rather akin to chess in its permutations.  I read a lot on the mathmatics of it all and makes for a nice hobby.
