today would have be my Hero's birthday (Townes Van Zandt - died in '97 at age 52)

kept thinking of what I could do to celebrate without getting drunk - and somewhere along the way it was like "man, go take your money and find a poker limit higher then what you're used to - and just go play - and don't care about the money - just play your best and don't back down and if you lose, just walk away like nothing bad happened"

and maybe find a nice cigar - :)

love ya, Townes - rest in piece and happy birthday
