Today at the Birch Street Nursing Home, we played poker outside again. Mrs. Lieberman was determined to get another player into the game. So she asked Mrs. Henley to lie on the grass until the next time someone passed by and then shout out to him. It was maybe thirty minutes later that a bicyclist came by, but Mrs. Henley was fast asleep on the lawn. So Mrs. Lieberman called out to him. The man jumped off his bike and ran over to Mrs. Henley to help her up. Mrs. Lieberman told him that what would make her feel better is if he stayed to play a hand of poker. And he did, and actually won that hand. Mrs. Lieberman asked him to stay for another hand. She raised the stakes this time, and the man left afterward, with $40 less than he came with.
