"The best and the most beautiful things in the world,
Cannot be seen
or even touched...
They must be felt with the heart."
Helen Keller

Bah humbug.

Our regal 15 year old matriarch of our animal family, Samantha, died on the operating table last evening. I'm not gonna get all maudlin - 15 years is a full life for a large dog but the immediacy of her absence looms over the house.

RIP, Sammy. Here's my two fave pictures of Sam and Monty.





I got a few emails about the Dutch Boyd - PokerSpot history after my post over at Pokerworks so I'm gearing up for a big old honking retrospective. Head over and read.

It may have to wait a day or two as things are gearing up over at UFCjunkie.com. Because we're such altruistic bastards over there, we are sponsoring Sean Salmon versus Rashad Evans in the Main Event fight tomorrow evening on Spike. That's right, national TV. I'm gonna poop my pants when I finally see it.

Our URL is featured on his shorts and there have been reportings of UFCjunkie tshirts sightings at the Hardrock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida this week. Wild, wacky stuff.

Sean is currently a 5-1 underdog mostly because this is his first UFC fight. I tried to sign up for a sportsbook or two today to lay some money down, and Lord, what an experience that was. Long story short: I am now banned from Western Union. Good grief, this could only happen to me.

This is a fun short little video showing what happens when you kiss your opponent before a mixed martial arts fight.
