More evidence poker is in the "mainstream"

You know poker has made it to the middle of the mainstream when these are two of the jokes in this month’s Reader’s Digest

What’s the difference between a large chesse pizza and a poker player? A large cheese pizza can feed a family of four.

How can you tell a poker player is lying? His chips are moving.

It was another unseasonably warm, sunny day in Salem, Oregon today. I found a motel to park close by to use their wireless Internet to upload a couple days of blogs and to check email.

Caren spent some time with her sisters shopping. Tonight, we had a BBQ at her eldest sister’s home tonight. They have 10 children, at least 7 of them are married, and were there with their 2-4 children. This little family get together was bigger then some church potlucks we have been too.

Tonight, is our last night in Salem, Oregon. Tomorrow we start driving up to Portland to spend a little time there with another sister. Saturday, I will take Caren to the Portland Airport and she will fly back to San Diego.

Pokey, the dog, and I will then embark on a poker trip for the next three weeks to a month that should include Seattle, San Francisco, Reno, Las Vegas, Los Angeles & San Diego and many points between.

I will do my best to keep the blog as current as I can during our trip, so you can enjoy the trip with me.
