Science (and blogging) will march along without me today, in honor of Labor Day in the US. I hope it doesn't get too far out ahead, so I can catch up.
I'm home preparing for a big dinner of some of my native Arkansas food (catfish and hushpuppies), planting flower bulbs, and teaching my two children to play seven-card stud high-low poker. Busy, busy, busy.

Best advice I ever got about stud hi-lo is to focus on playing hands with scoop potential and to tread lightly with those big pairs and raggedy low draws. Perhaps you can pass that along as well.

I thought hushpuppies were a kind of slipper.
