Shot Down the Street

It was disturbing to learn on the news tonight of a shooting at our usual Thursday night poker spot.

A man was shot in the parking lot of Lil Kim's Cove at around 12:30am Sunday. The club has Saturday poker tournament doubleheaders (at least according to its web site), but much earlier in the day -- at 2:00 and 5:00 p.m.

We've had a couple of successful poker nights at Lil Kim's, which stretched past midnight. On one occasion, a man stopped us as we hurredly walked home -- but the man claimed to be homeless and hungry. He gained a can of Vienna sausages at our door, but no more. We did this based on Matthew 25:35; he stated the food need first, so that's what we provided.

Now we're thankful Lil Kim's is starting Thursday night poker doubleheaders. You'll hopefully understand if we play only in the first one this week, at 7:00 p.m. ET.
