Here's a simple card-counting FAQ to get you up to speed on the basics. Here's the true story of the notorious DD' blackjack team, told for the first time on the fabulous internets. No other team went from a starting investor's bankroll of zero to winning millions of dollars.

cutest baby on the block

2012-06-14 - 9:24 a.m.

The baby Red-Bellied Woodpecker still comes to the feeder every day. However, I still only get visits from adult Red-Heads. Who understands the ways and whyfores of woodpeckers? Right as I post my baby Red-Belly is sharing the feeder with one of the Blue Jays. Too cute.

I got a small re-write job for a blog. And, get this, I got paid almost instantly. Not a lot, but if it were a magazine, I'd get paid maybe sometime in early 2014. No more magazines, I don't think, even if I do manage to get the writing business started up again. You just spend way too much time doing collections, months or even, sometimes, years after the work is done. I can't put off eating for 18 months, right? So why do they think they can put off paying me for 18 months?

I have finished restoring the chest of drawers I was working on. Must photograph it and post it on craigslist. Heck, must post it here as a brag. I stand amazed at how well it came out.

Bought my tickets for Knoxville and also for Los Angeles when the Tuesday sales came out. I also did a mini app-a-rama. Really, really mini. I only applied for 3 new cards. Got instant approval on the first three and then slunk away in despair when the 4th bank said they'd let me know in 7-10 days. I told D. I'd apply for the Fairmont card and, if I got it, we could use his miles to go to Jasper and use my points for the hotel. But, in the event, I didn't get the Fairmont card. So now I wish I hadn't said anything.

Shaped a lot of Smoky Quartz pebbles this afternoon.

later

The whole family of Blue Jays is out there now, plus their honorary family member, the baby Red-Bellied Woodpecker. So adorable.
