I'm published!

It's been a little while since I last posted.  Nothing major has taken place.  I'll make a few posts to make it seem like a lot.
  I have a reason to play poker.  I am now a monthly contributer to Ante Up magazine, and the Mid-Atlantic Ambassador.  A link to the magazine is below, my column is on page 12 and I have another article on page 46.  Here is a link to the magazine:

 As for my other poker activities, while Teri and the kids were out of town, I had chance to get a lot of play in.  The evening they left I played in a tournament in Southern Maryland, I lost early-ish.  The next day (Sunday June 12) my Mother and I went up to Delaware Park for the day.  I played a long time, but didn't cash.  I played my usual Monday night tournament at Ft. Meade on 6/13.  I did bring a local author of a poker book with me.  As it turned out, he won the tournament that night!
So Friday night, 6/17 I went down to the VFW in California, MD. Again, lost early.  This was really a waste of my time for this tourney.
Saturday June 18, my Mom and sister went to Delaware Park and played all day.  I started with the 9:00am tourney, then the noon tourney, finally the 4pm tourney.  I didn't cash in either of the first two, but I WON the final tourney!  Not a bad way to wrap up the weekend.  Teri and the kids came home the next day, so my poker has been shut down since then (except my Monday night tourney).
  I do plan to hit Dover on Sunday July 10.  They have a summer poker series and I want to play the 6 handed tournament.  I will probably take my sister and mother again, and maybe my friend Ray also.
