DOYLISM OF THE DAY: "Today is the youngest I'll ever be again."

WOW! What great weather we are having in Vegas. I can't remember days like we are having this January. There is almost no wind and 75 degree days. It's a golfer's paradise. Even I have been to the golf course the past 3 days. It's really discouraging when I try to play as I used to, but with my bad leg plus getting older and older, I can't do it. When I see how good some of the young guys play, it makes it worse to me not being able to perform. David Benyamine has made more progress in the last year than anyone I've ever seen. He is going to be really good in a couple of years.

Some clown who produces the, "Blend Celebrity Bucket List", put the 100 most likely celebs to die in 2009. Guess who he had at #16? That's right, me. To start with, I don't consider myself a celebrity, so I don't qualify. But, if I did, I sure don't have any plans for kicking the bucket anytime soon and surely not in 2009. He should check on my family genes, both sides lived up into their 90's. He should talk to my doctor and get my blood pressure results, my 140 reading on my cholesterol and the raves my cardiologist gives me on my EKG's. He said obesity would cause my death. He should have seen me 5 years ago when I was 130 lbs heavier. Anyway, he said it was a 10% chance I would die. I would like to lay 10-1 for any amount if anybody knows this joker.

In my Margaret Hussman watch, the 15 year old girl with untreatable cancer, she is in the hospital but is fighting a courageous fight against pneumonia. What a trooper she is, send her an encouraging e-mail to [email protected]

Thanks for all the advice everyone has given me about accepting my induction into my university's Athletic Hall of Fame. I will accept and attend the award ceremony in October. I can't let all my friends and ex-teammates down because they really pushed the selection committee. One thing I want them know, I'm a professional poker player and proud of it!
