Poker at John's place

John moved up to Nyack from the city. He’s down on lower Depew ave. Here is his new apartment. $1,000 a month – ouch. That’s Robert on the porch. Robert is growing a Santa Clause beard.

John is often confused with a hung over David Duchovny.

He has two very fat cats named Bogey and Mingus, who were not interested in posing for the camera.

Mingus jumped on the table to see what Poker was all about. I caught John with a weird expression on his face.

After poker Jim rode back to Birchwood Avenue on his Vespa.

I lost money at Poker. I did not have a good hand all night.

    Our monthly rent is $850 for a 2 bedroom. The best part about this place is the balcony and we have that nice little parkway behind us and our balcony is shrouded by some nice big trees. That and were close to everything.

    What brand of poker is that?

    Nice pics

    The name of the game is Hot Tuna. We listen to vinyl records and play a three handed game with a rule that allows passing of cards to the hand on the left.

    Read about it at my Extreme Poker article.

    35 years ago Erica and I lived up Broadway from John’s house and paid $175 a month rent. I was making $100 a week then. We lived well. Now I make 20 times that and, although the mortgage is paid off, I have no money.
