On Friday we grabbed some dinner with my little sister and played some competitive ping pong games. Saturday was rainy and a perfect day to stay in. Although we did venture out for a Starbucks coffee when there was a break in the clouds.
On Sunday, Joe would usually play poker. However, the Department of Justice has shutdown most of the online poker sites; leaving Joe without his favorite hobby. Joe's dad also was an avid Sunday poker player and was left twiddling his thumbs. To fill his idle time, he took Mrs. Patrick to see the plant in Wickliffe and then they came over for an early dinner. They are both hoping to get their hobby back soon but it isn't looking very promising...guess Joe will just have to spend more time with me! Now isn't that lucky!

they shut down the sites?? why??
The underlying reason is because the US does not tax the winnings from online poker. I guess it is considered illegal here. So when a US player would withdraw money from his poker account, the poker sites would try to cover it up by showing the transaction as a different item (ie, golf balls).
