When my wife and I get home from work there are a few things we like to do that make us happy campers. The first thing is check out the events of the World Series of Poker. Luckily we are in the 2013-2014 season so we are very entertained.

Another thing that my wife and I like to do is peruse the web. We like to go onto popular social networking sites such as Google Plus, Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest and the rest of them. It is always interesting to see what other people are doing with their lives thirty years after you went to high school with them.

Besides visiting the World Series of Poker videos, and social networking sites, our Internet look includes Victoria Coren’s blog. My wife and I are very big fans of her as she is one of our favorite poker players.
