Recovery
The last few days have been pretty good.
- I broke out of my poetry rejection slump (thanks, Emily!). Now I just need a journal acceptance.
- I broke out of my poker slump (thanks, 10 on the river!). Essentially only two bad plays for an entire tournament, and I finished 4th of 45.
- I subbed for a friend in a darts league last night and (marginally) helped our team to victory, 8-5.
- I just made some decisions about the cover for the next issue of The Eleventh Muse, and I'm going to be talking with the printer about the whole thing today.
- I'm headed off in about an hour for a coffee-date.

On the poker front I continue to struggle. The last time I played I got beat twice. Not bad plays, but just beat. The first I had a KQ, and flopped a set of queens, and the guy next to me had AQ. The second time I flopped a set of Aces, only to be outdrawn at the river with a full house because they guy had pocket 6's.
As for poetry, I am still on a dry run as far as acceptances go, but I am writing and near completion on a chapbook of rural poems.

I mainly use PokerStars. I also play occasionally at Duffy's Tavern, which is probably a bit difficult to reach from Tennessee.
I live in a gambling town, on the Nevada-Utah border. Poker comes easy. Perhaps too easy with my recent win-lose record.
