Got the club hooked up with X-Drive, which handily stores the Quicken files.  Kodak Palmpix arrived today... works well and simply, but still not sure of image quality.  Dinner with ----- @ Lemonia: lamb + gyro meat and salad.  She picked up the tab despite my protests.  The screen protector on this Palm makes graffiti writing rather laborious and error-prone.

Lost another grand today in the ----- game - will I actually come out of this a loser?  I think not, even if I may end up behind on the score, for the entry into that sphere alone may be worth a great deal.  I just hope ----- never forgets that I paid his table fee.

Aaahhhh.... now on the keyboard, which feels so much nicer.  The club is abuzz daily with all sorts of action, experiencing the inevitable inflation in average stakes that always follows someone like ----- or the Big O.  Winning largish sums is intoxicating and encourages higher risk.  Testosterone is the drug involved.  ----- is said to be on his way.  -----'s here daily giving big action, -----'s coming.... what will the next month be like?  I'll be away in Germany!  What awful timing on my part (heehee, I'm ducking the roughest week of the year most likely, but not at all planned like that).  Let's see what the next week brings... wonder what ----- needs for his Palm these days; he'll surely be envious of the keyboard if he doesn't already own one.
