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.
