Losing Sleep

I went to bed at 5:45 this morning. I had stayed up until then. I wasn't reading, or watching a movie, or even playing a game. Instead, I was watching the live broadcast of a poker tournament. This year, ESPN offered live coverage of the final table of the World Series of poker on pay per view.

Some of you know that Jenny and I don't have cable, so you may be wondering how I watched this. I'm resourceful. I found people who were broadcasting it over the internet for free.

So I sat, at a table, watching a poker tournament in Windows Media Player. It finished at 5:40 this morning. It was wonderful. I'd much rather watch the tournament this way, than wait for them to show only the highlights in the episodes they will air on television a couple of weeks from now.

That is all.
