http://www.joshdoody.com Sat, 12 Jul 2008 05:33:01 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I should write this down so I don't forget about it.  We had a doubles foosball tournament at work today and my team won.  Then I went home for an hour or so and got ready to go play a couple of single-table ten-dollar poker tourneys.   I hadn't played with ... http://www.joshdoody.com/2008/07/12/back-to-back-tourney-wins-poker-and-foosball/ On Wednesday evening, I headed west to Las Vegas.  As it turns out, I also arrive in Las Vegas on Wednesday evening since time stands still when flying west (in the States anyway).  This demonstrates Superman's superiority as Boeing can merely cause time to stand still, while Superman can actually ... http://www.joshdoody.com/2008/06/26/my-week-sans-the-work-part-2-las-vegas/ I spent the last week traveling and blowing money. Only, not really blowing money, except for the traveling part. My first stop was New Orleans, where I played a $1K preliminary event at the WSOP Circuit stop. I'm not going to post a tournament recap because it was spectacularly boring. ... http://www.joshdoody.com/2008/05/29/my-week-sans-the-work-part-1-new-orleans/ I'm pretty much speechless. We won another title, and I think Gator Nation is just trying to take it all in and enjoy the moment. We may never win another one, so now's the time to enjoy it. Go Gators! http://www.joshdoody.com/2007/04/03/hurraz/ I'm up in Atlanta for the Final Four. Last year, I flew from Dallas to Gainesville to watch the games with my buddies. As soon as the tourney was over, I started pricing Final Four tickets for 2007 and making plans to get to ATL for the games. ... http://www.joshdoody.com/2007/04/01/in-atl-for-the-final-four/ This was only my second live tourney since October and I felt I played well until (of course) the last hand. We started with 5K chips, 10/20 blinds and 30 minute levels. It was a pretty good structure and I really liked my chances. I was sitting ... http://www.joshdoody.com/2007/03/03/50-tourney-recap-2/ Remember that time when I said I was going to try and make a substantive post every two weeks? Me neither. So, here's what's been up since my last post: Well, obviously, we're more than SEC Champs these days. Since we whooped up on OSU, we've become the first school ... http://www.joshdoody.com/2007/02/20/ten-weeks-later/ I'm still getting used to the idea that we're playing for the National Championship in a few weeks. It seems as though we've been struggling since the second half at Auburn, and yet we've done nothing but win since that game. Here are my thoughts on our win ... http://www.joshdoody.com/2006/12/06/florida-gators-sec-champs/ Road trip 1: Tonight, for the first time in about three years, I went running (outdoors and everything!). I've been doing various cardio exercises--ridin' the bike, the crazy elliptical thing--for a few years, but I hadn't gone for a run in a while. It was actually pretty relaxing ... http://www.joshdoody.com/2006/11/30/road-trips/ I've been posting on my blog for almost five years, and I'm probably the only person who consistently reads what I write. While it's always been true that my primary audience is myself (more specifically, it's my future self; Marty?), I know that there are a few others who ... http://www.joshdoody.com/2006/11/24/turning-over-a-new-leaf/
