38. I can, and do, trust her with everything.
39. After more than 10 years of marriage, she still isn’t the least bit crazy.
40. I didn’t finish this list yet, and I started it many months ago. She’s read it, she knows I’m writing it, and she hasn’t complained once that I haven’t finished it.
41. The closest thing to religion I’ll ever have. She is the only shape I pray to.
42. Sometimes she laughs at my endless stream of weak humor.

Playing hold ‘em with friends in a game that’s not for cash is really funny. We just laugh and laugh the whole time. Playing online for cash, not fun. The players are slow, you can’t read them, and did I mention the game moves slowly? Right now I favor no-limit but I’m not sure where that will end up once I learn how to play the game properly.

I’ll do this the same way I do everything else I’m really interested in doing, exhaustively. I’ve 5 books in the mail now. Lots to read, mechanics and math to memorize and play around with. My goal is to be good enough that I can buy into a few tournaments with my earnings. I’d be happy to earn a bit each night, that’s my starting goal.

I don’t do yearly resolutions, this plan just happens to be starting around the beginning of the year. My whole life I’ve been taught that gambling is wrong/bad. I’m not the type to throw assets towards a failing enterprise. Gambling will be the same. If I can’t learn to do it profitably, I won’t do it at all. I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong about any action. I feel that the ethical and moral implications are bound up in the reasoning behind the action. My reasons for learning to gamble are that I might prove the worth, or lack thereof, of one more revenue avenue in my life. I have studied business, real estate, forex, stocks, and of course for my profession. It’s always fun to learn about how different people make their living and whether or not that’s of interest to you. I don’t plan to do what I do as a day job for more than another 10 years, so hopefully I can prepare for another line of work by then.

The good times are killing me, at least that’s what Modest Mouse has convinced me of.

26. She’ll make a lunch for me to take to work some days.
27. Sometimes she’ll put a love note in with the lunch.
28. She’s really easy to tease, I may have mentioned this previously. It’s fun to get her a little worked up. It never gets old. I suspect that one day she’ll figure out what I’m doing and that will be the end of my fun.
29. She’s naughty.
30. She is under the impression that brown and black don’t go well together.
31. She’ll eat for 3 times as long as anyone else and consume a third the quantity.
32. Her hazel eyes.
33. Some things are worth repeating. She’s a great mother.
34. She does all the finances. We plan together, but she takes care of all the bills and keeps our books in good order. She’s very forgiving of my poor record keeping practices.
35. She does the dishes. I would feel guilty about this, but I’ve beaten my conscience into submission and I simply love that I don’t have to do the dishes. Ever.
36. People are going to think I’m evil due to #35. So 36 is to be used somewhat as a disclaimer. I love that she is a stay at home mom. I love that she loves it. If she thought we weren’t in a fair partnership, all she’d have to say is that she wants me to do the dishes, and we’d work something out.
37. She talks with me at night, instead of sleeping. It’s naughty.
