Stephen Bartley writes about poker and gambling. His passions away from work and family are horse racing, tea, drink and politics. Having escaped London, a world that involved double locks and baseball bats hidden by the door, Stephen moved with his partner, step-daughter and young son to Whitstable, a seaside town in Kent, where he resides in a coastal fortress with astonishing fields of fire. That makes it good for nights in, watching American racing, drinking cocktails and getting early nights.

Dealing with The Fear

A feel good day, even with a few minor problems that no man would ever blog about. But needless to say all is chipper.

A big chunk of work is done. One of the now five, not four things I have to get done this week. So celebration would be nice. But instead a trip to Sainsbury's for a re-supply run. It's a good half an hour walk, and I have no idea which bus will bring me back. But I'm nothing if not an adventurer. So with the music to Indiana Jones in my brains I'll be on my way.

Then back for another 8 hour shift of supporting Our Man Ed in Vegas, the lone ranger out at the Mirage in the middle of the Nevada dessert, covering the World Poker Tour. Last night I packed in at 2.30am. Tonight I already feel it will be a breeze. Besides, there's bugger all on telly. Since I bought the damn thing there's been nothing on telly. Has there ever been?

And in between all this will be other work, articles and the secret dynamic jobs for the summer. I want to impress my boss this week after his knees were knocked from under him by a piece I wrote that was used last Saturday. It shocked me. I thought it was better than he thought, but I've had too much of The Fear to re-read it and see which one of us was right. The next will be better, the one after liquid gold.

To the cake isle...
