February 22nd, 2010 by Chris HumpherysI played in a charity poker event last week, believe it or not, at the same temple where I had my Bar mitzvah so many years ago. Nothing like pocket tens and torahs to brighten up an evening. Read the rest of this entry »
Tweeting for the Super Bowl
February 8th, 2010 by Chris HumpherysSince I couldn’t make it to either Miami or New Orleans for Super Bowl XLIV, I decided to hunker down in front of the laptop and Tweet the night away.
