Return To Normalcy

With today (Saturday 9/20), I intend to get things back on track with Project Freeroll. I intend to get back to posting daily recaps, etc.

I Don't Like Ike Part 2

Still dealing with issues at work, home, and parents home related to Ike, so I haven't gotten in much play the past few days. Hopefully things will settle down soon, but with the kids out of school all week, my wife working unusual hours, and some extended hours at work myself, it might be the weekend before I can really concentrate on playing much. I will still get a few SNGs here and there.
