#570 – Dispatches from an Uncommunicative Correspondent – Part I – A Wayward Son Seeks Forgiveness

Posted by Editor | Filed under My Life

Dear Uncle Tilty:

Nobody can say it hasn’t been a rocky road for us lately. The World Series was a disjointed mess. London was a disaster. When I look back on it, I think some of the writing was good, but there were definitely times I wanted to quit, and probably some times where I should have been fired.

I know you’re looking for me to make amends with my coverage of the WSOP Main Event final table in November. I’ve interviewed Full Tilt’s 3 pros at the final table – Scott Montgomery, Craig Marquis, and Kelly Kim – but I haven’t posted the profiles I’ve promised. I’m working on it.

I’m also supposed to cover the final table in November in Las Vegas, though I haven’t gotten accommodations or even faxed my request for media credentials, which is still sitting on my desk. It probably doesn’t make you feel any better but I’ve been applying the same “diligence” to my life away from poker.

Like my family. I got a call from Valerie’s school that she’s missing two of her immunizations and they won’t let her in school on Monday unless she has them. I gave them Jo Anne’s cell number – I was playing the noon tournament. I haven’t called my dad since I got back from London. I’ve got a message to call my brother that I haven’t returned. My mom is e-mailing to ask why I haven’t been posting on the blog.

As I am undoubtedly a biological adult – my fiftieth birthday is in December, for chrissakes – I should be handling things better. Yet my extension to file my 2007 taxes expired yesterday and I didn’t even start working with the accountant on them until last week. Despite having $30,000 in the bank, I’ve paid my personal bills in such a manner the last few months that I’ve had threatened or actual cancellations of the cable (twice), electricity, gas, and my MasterCard.

I’ll tell you the same thing I told them, and I hope you’ll understand it better:

I’ll get to it, okay? You see, I’m on a losing streak.

    Mike, Bubba, you need to seek some professional help. It isn’t too late – just very late.
