I have been playing a lot of poker lately. A bunch of us molbio nerds get together about every couple of weeks and play no limit hold 'em in to the wee hours of the morning. The game isn't so intense that we can't carry on conversations, has a luck component so I don't beat myself up when I lose, and involves enough skill that it is possible to get better at it. Poker has pretty much become the main social event in my life these days actually. Being married has made me even more of a hermit than I was in college. It is nice actually interacting with people every now and then.
