• that's it!  i officially quit.  after saturday night, i'm not
  playing poker again for the rest of the calendar year.  yeah, i
  know, it's not that long, but with the frequency that i play these
  days, it'll be quite a few games missed.  it'll be like 40 days of
  lent, but in november and december.

  i've been meaning to quit for some time, but since i never really tell
  anyone, i never stick to it.  i figure if i post it here, at least
  someone can help stay accountable.  i'd say i've only been playing
  for a little over a year now, but i can't imagine how many hours i've
  spent at this game.  at some point you gotta say,  "enough is
  enough."  too much time spent, too many times getting frustrated,
  too often seeing other people get angry or dejected, too many freaking
  cards in my face!

  so from this saturday i quit til jan. 1.  what happens then? 
  who knows?  but til then, i need some help. sooooo ...

  canaan homies - don't let me play at the house games, or even the mini 4-player games we used to do.
  dave - don't let me play at the stanford games.
  dan - don't let me play at the family games.
  doo-doo - don't let me play at the work games or the life group games.
  anyone else - don't let me even pretend play just with cards face up.

  are there any other outs i'm not counting?  keep me away of
  them.  i'll allow myself to watch and deal, but as far as playing,
  i'm done.
