Was a good trip home. Besides my battery dying again and messing up my plans for Saturday, the weekend was good. Superbowl party seeing some old friends was great. Didn’t do well in box pools, or the poker pool, but did do a little better than breaking even with a single bet on the Giants to win. An interesting bet that was talked about on Superbowl Sunday, was on two people having the same birthday out of a group of 30 people. turns out to be very likely and in a group of 23 it’s greater than 50% likely. math was described in email the next day, and here’s a related link. Actual bet was 4 pairs of people out of the ~50 at the superbowl. That didn’t happen. Becoming normal for the flights to be canceled on the way back, but I made it.
Apartment complex wanted to replace the TV on Tuesday. Not sure why the guy installing the tv had to go into the bedroom, but I could tell someone was in there. Also had some change taken from the kitchen. didn’t notice anything else gone, but annoying to know someone was going through my things.
Can’t skip a post an not have some backgammon update. I receive the “starting out in poker” book. It’s well worth the read. about 100 pages and enough detail to help some basic concepts. It’s written very clearly, with emphasis on the important points. I’ve picked up all the right opening moves and started to learn doubling strategy. more to learn. I’m sure it will help my game.
