An invisible army roams the world at night, silently connecting us with the fruits of our economic existence. Until I started buying custom shoes from Nike, I never thought much about the movement of commerce. But now, when I order shoes or some other item, they send me the UPS.com tracking information. That has allowed me to follow my merchandise from its point of origin to my feet.

I still get asked frequently what is happening with Andy Beal. Some people want to know whether he’ll be back to play some more high-stakes poker. Others just want to know the next chapter of his remarkable story, regardless of whether poker is involved.

I’m definitely not out of danger yet, but I am continuing my rebound from the Brink of brokeness. Last Sunday, with a little more money in my account, I was able to consider playing some bigger tournaments on Full Tilt.

Last Sunday, with under $500 in my Full Tilt account, I had to contemplate an entirely new poker schedule. Instead of deciding how to divide my attention among the dozen or so $150+ tournaments, I was checking the starting times of the $1 events and debating if I could afford a single $50 + $5 turbo satellite to the $750,000 Guarantee.
It sucks being broke.
