IT’S DONE!!!!!
Happy Graduation to Everybody I've Studied with at www.dbu.edu
My family made it to Dallas this weekend and we had a house warming party, graduation party, & just a generally awesome celebration. Bev, Jim, Irma, and Grace made it for the celebration! We fired up the grill for the first time in 2 years and ate the night away.
Thank you EVERYBODY for your support, dedication, and love required for us to reach this milestone!

Just a little nugget for ya:
Make sure the following line is in the .htaccess file or the general configuration file on your Apache server:
AddType text/css .css
That line of code will make your pages look right.
Bonus nugget: generally, hole cards paired stand a 9 percent chance of becoming a set for the hand. Those odds are not good, if pressured, and they are a weak pair, then toss them aside as if they were the 7/2 off suit.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Every(one) from the Bradleys!
Do yourself a favor & download Opera
That's Opera, not Oprah. Opera is a web browser that isn't bloated, has decent security, is free and you don't know it but you're probably using it on your phone. You can find it here at www.opera.com

Quick Update
We bought a house. Have I mentioned that? The move is difficult because we're a tad disorganized but we have painted and have most of our stuff moved in - thanks to the help of Bev!!!!! Thanks Bev.
Abbiversary!
Today is our one year Anniversary! Cleverly, I've called it our Abbiversary.
I've been working on two sites: 1. www.freewordsofchrist.org and 2. one for my wifey: www.abbybradley.net/blog
I'm using flickr with the second one. It should provide a glimpse into our Santorini trip.
Nothing impressive, visually, but I did pull in the flickr photos using the WP Flickr API. Kind of neat but a lot of tedious work.
I love you Abby. Thank you for the wonderful year, your unwavering support, and your beautiful sense of humor. We've come a long way and I'm the luckiest man in the world.
Love you,
Michael
Not that it wasn’t fun or anything
Accounting is difficult for me. Seriously difficult and for two good reasons: I can't sit still long enough to concentrate on the accounting spreadsheets and I really don't care for the subject.
My strategy for the MBA curriculum was to isolate accounting courses from the major courses so the extensive team projects in the Health Care & Creative Problem Solving courses do not interfere with the intensity of the accounting course. The only way of doing that was to make Accounting a summer course. Summer courses cover the same amount of material and have the same course requirements as the longer semester classes but they are crammed into 2 months instead of four. So the upside of a summer course is isolation (provided you take just one course in the summer) and the downside is the intensity of the course.
I have finally received my grade for the course and I'm happy to report that I did not fail Accounting like I feared I would. Quite the contrary actually, I think I got an A, but they haven't been officially posted yet.
Isolating accounting served another purpose: it was a boot camp for Corporate Finance - the next class on my list. On the list for this semester: corporate finance and quantitative analysis. I've had enough statistics courses in my life to fake myself enough into believing that I will not do well in the course but I have a fantastic motivation: the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter and I can see that I'm almost there. Four classes left and I'm done with my MBA program.
To those who can hear it, I'm shouting THANK YOU for your support!
And the Hits keep on coming.
I don't know why I insist on talking about poker. There is no new information coming from me that can't be read elsewhere. Take Pokerati, for example. More information can be gotten from there than anywhere else in Texas. And they are actually amusing. My buddy Derald actually has theories that are not just repeats and rehashed articles. His is a good blog to read.
I probably talk about poker because I don't have anyone to complain to. This evening, I took some time off studies to play at my favorite hangout with a couple of friends. Irish Mike is the biggest suck out of all time. If he had 7 2 off suit, then the board would be 3 4 5 6 8 of the same suit as his 7. Of course, I would have gone all in pre-flop holding onto my AA, of one of the spades on the table. If it wasn't Irish Mike that did it, then it would have been RD or Big Al.
But I had the best night of everybody at the table and it had nothing to do with poker. My real estate agent happened to be in the area and I picked up the key to our new house! The next month will be filled with packing materials, cleaning and probably a few less bad beat stories.
