Today was a rough day my poker buddies, we attended the funeral of a great man that I've known since 1989. Bob was a cleaver poker player and he will be missed, today was his birthday and he would have been 87. After the service and a visit to his daughters house, I headed over to Northeast Baptist Hospital to see another one of my poker buddies, Gene. I've known him since 1987 and he introduced me to Bob. Yesterday Gene was at Jim's restaurant having lunch and his usual server noticed that he didn't look good so she called EMS. They rushed him to the hospital and immediately determined that he was having a heart attack and pulled him into the operating room to install a stint. The doctor said that he had a blockage called the Widow Maker and he was lucky to still be alive. Gene said he would be at poker next Thursday!
When I left the hospital I noticed my gas gauge, yellow light and needle on "E", I think a break for us all is warranted and maybe we should just play in October when I get back from Nebraska. These guys really love their poker, we'll see if we play.

Today I made it to Gold II with my Water Splinter. I did get one card I needed to level up. Can you figure out which card that is?
