It's the same old story.  My poker has been catastrophic - I am suffering the worst downswing of my life using any metric:  total amount lost, length of downswing, number of buyins lost, consecutive losing sessions, you name it.  In parallel (and obviously related), my divorce settlement has broken down completely, and has devolved into a full-out war that is causing me unimaginable stress and depression.

But I am going to avoid sounding like a broken record.  The one thing I have going for me is that I have reached dizzying heights in my fantasy football league.  I used my wild card a couple of weeks ago to great effect, and with 1513 points, am now up to 293rd (out of over 2.2 million) in the world and tied for 5th (out of over 70,000), only 8 points behind the country leader.  I know it's silly, but I am pretty much hanging my hat on fantasy football to keep my head up for now.

It's do or die for Arsenal on Sunday.  I think that we need to get something (and will probably need 3 not 1) at the Bridge to stay in the title race.
