THE GAUNTLET HAS BEEN THROWN DOWN. THE FOLLOWING IS AN EMAIL FROM NICK TO CLARK, A POKER INVITE TITLED, "The Call to Felt (Poker Game)"
"Well mo-fo's, the evenings are getting crisp, football is the talk of Griz nation, and the leaves are starting to change colors. What does all this mean? That it is once again poker season, of course!!
Beginning on Saturday, Sept. 20th your presence is requested required and your money is needed every third Saturday night from 7pm until you are formally excused from the table or you are too squished to speak (just keep raising the pot in the latter case).
We need regular players to make this important game happen on a regular basis and family commitments are not an excused absence!! We all have families to contend with, most of which are still young and growing. Please be informed that families are to be unceremoniously cast aside for this, most special, evening of male bonding, bitching, and boozing. Remember, absence not only makes the heart grow fonder, but it also helps to keep a man's sanity intact. Thus, poker serves to improve our home lives by making us better husbands, more sensitive and caring lovers, and more attentive fathers. As you can see, poker is revealed to truly be a family game upon close examination.
Please RSVP and let me know that you will be here for every poker game with beer and money until next July, when you will be excused for a two-month summer vacation -or call and tell me you can’t make it because your wife said no and you have to stay home and play Barbie's like the little girlie girl that you are…" (Written By Nick)
ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER? BETTER HUSBANDS? MORE SENSITIVE, CARING LOVERS? MORE ATTENTIVE FATHERS? A FAMILY GAME? CAN NICK PROMISE THESE THINGS? IT SOUNDS LIKE A 12-STEP PROGRAM. GOOOOOOO POKER SEASON!!!!!

Hi Brandy! I'm not a huge fan of poker night...
We are about to get some exciting company from Washington.

Dear Miss B.,
This Nick character sounds like an exceptionally well-adjusted individual to me. Judging from the content of his message, I'd say he has an excellent grasp of tongue-in-cheek humor and he probably shares a lot of laughs with his friends and family. Nick is welcome at my poker table anytime!
