Poker? I hardly know 'er...

Wednesday night we had our first poker night since I've been in Brazil. I've had the poker bug for some time and been itchin' to play and until recently I found enough players to scratch together a game. The game went great and everyone went home happy, even the ones who got cleaned out. And lo and behold, all the poker players start coming out of the closet now that we've had this game. I had like at least 10 people come up to me at the Happy Hour at the Embassy tonight saying they'd like to get in on it! I think I underestimated the demand for such a function. This could be a very good, and profitable, venture for the Marine detachment here. We'll have to see how the next poker night we have goes.

And lately, battalion has been pumping new orders down the pipeline to us at the rapid rate. If we don't get it done in the next few days the catalyst will reach a boiling point and we're all gunna be in deep shit trying to get things done. I just hope we don't get over our heads with some of the extra paperwork and what not. Everything should settle down by the end of April, so I can't wait for that time to come. Ah well, more to come as it develops.
