i was alive for kennedy's inauguration and eisenhower's farewell. i was lucky to be able to go to the NY world's fare. i saw the mets play at the polo grounds and their first year at shea. i saw kennedy assasinated and johnson inaugurated. i saw nixon rise and fall. i saw the azazing mets win in 69 and frazier and reed and a future senator win in 70. i saw the beatles form and break up. i saw the roling stones form and will never break up. and i was around when sputnik casued such a stir in this country. i was around when an apple was just something to eat. i got to play pong and space invaders when they first came out. and i was around when vegas was still run by the mob and franky and sammy were in their prime.

i've seen poker rise to the top and will be around when it falls right back down.

i've been around way too long.

Was I the only one thinking "Sympathy for the Devil" when I read this?

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

Well, I remember playing poker in the 1970s in England when this new game "Hold'em" was introduced. I think that Alvarez was in the game at the time. I know that Tony Holden was, since it was his house.

I remember when nearly all high-low games were declaration, when it was a continual matter of debate whether flushes and/or straights could be disregarded for the low, and whether the Ace had to count as high.

I remember the Battle of Grosvenor Square and the dream that was Eugene McCarthy, and I remember Kent State, partly because I went to a (different) Kent University.

And I remember my first Hold'em tournament, in 1981 or 1982, in Birmingham (England, not Alabama) at Cromwell's. Dave was the cardroom manager and we got comped a free meal solely because we had driven all the way from Canterbury (England, not New Zealand) to play.

They were good times. Somewhere along the way it all seemed to get too serious and less good, but perhaps I am using rose-tinted spectacles to view the past.

I only go back to Kennedy, so I guess that makes you older than I am.

I raise to being around for Truman's farewell and Eisenhower's inauguration.

And I know I'm not the oldest here.
