During the Summer I try to spend as much time outside as I possibly can. We all know how fast Summer seems to come and go.  One minute you’re out on the boat with your friends and the next minute you are staring out the window at your yard, buried under 4 feet of snow.…

It was too hot.  It was too hot to sit in my apartment with no air conditioning and too hot to go outside.  I was stuck in the miserable heat.  I didn’t know anyone with a pool in the Toronto area and while cold showers helped, it was very temporary and I needed a long-term…

ESPN’s coverage of the World Series of Poker sparked the poker boom and introduced the masses to the crazy game of poker.  I wish I could say I had been playing poker before that but to be honest I couldn’t even list the winning hands in order.  Three of a kind beats what? It seems…
