Games People Play
Now tell me folks, would you play poker with this bunch of card sharks?
Jim, Steve, Dave, Drew, Tom and Andy are the remnants of a Friday night poker game that was started among Skunk Works employees in Romulus, MI some forty or so years ago. Today only Jim is still associated with the company.
Our host, Tom, revived the game from "retirement" after about three years of inactivity. I presented him with a posthumous bequest from SOB (Sweet Old Bob) of $60 to cover the cost of "hot dogs and Kool Aide" for the next game after his death. Thanks, SOB. And, you, too, Tom.
A great time was had by all and we plan to continue the game on a more regular schedule in the future.
PS: I broke even for the night and, for me, that's the moral equivalent of winning!
