Mid-Life Ramblings: February 2007
http://andrewbergen.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 25, 2007. I have picked up a book entitiled "The Holy Longing" by Ronald Rolheiser and have been deeply intrigued by his opening chapter. It is a book dedicated to the search for spirituality. Either way, I look forward to the remainder of this read and I welcome your comments or reactions. Posted by Andrew Bergen. Monday, February 19, 2007. After blogging became all the rage among my friends and acquaintances, several people said, "Andrew, why don't you start a blog?

Mid-Life Ramblings: Best Night Yet
http://andrewbergen.blogspot.com/2007/10/best-night-yet.html
Tuesday, October 16, 2007. Two hours at the Regina Casino tonight ($1/$2 no-limit), saw maybe a total of 10 flops in those two hours - walked away with huge profits - thanks to some good cards and some very fishy calls by opponents. Three hands:. Sure enough, he flips over KK and as he did he said, "Nice rockets" - when I flipped over my set. Pot of around $460. My 7 is good! So, again, instant call - and take down another $450 pot. Posted by Andrew Bergen. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mid-Life Ramblings: Worst Beat I Have Seen to Date
http://andrewbergen.blogspot.com/2007/10/worst-beat-i-have-seen-to-date.html
Thursday, October 18, 2007. Worst Beat I Have Seen to Date. One night after the previous post I was at the table while I watched one of the worst beats I have ever seen. Fortunately, I was NOT in the hand. It went something like this:. 1/$2 no-limit table. Three big stacks ($500 or more) at the table and I'm fortunate to be one of them). Posted by Andrew Bergen. What's with that picture Andrew you look like a communist! Paul, that's the point. Hey I am tagging you, cause I was tagged you have to list sev...

Mid-Life Ramblings: February 2008
http://andrewbergen.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2008. At the January session of the Spiritual Director's Formation Program. Of which I am a part, we heard from Archbiship Sylvain Lavoie. About his work with Twelve Step programs. I'm intrigued by his statement and wonder a couple of things. First, might this relate to Jesus' clear statements that righteousness (rightness) is to be found only in a faithful relationship to the only one who can be entirely right in the first place (i.e. God)? How much of our church conflict? In acc...

Mid-Life Ramblings: September 2007
http://andrewbergen.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 28, 2007. Best Read of the Summer. Yes, I'm aware it is no longer officially summer, but it was warm enough this afternoon to sit on my deck and read - so I'm still counting it that way. In that light, let me share with you a quote from the best read I've had in a while - from " A Brief History of Everything. Posted by Andrew Bergen. A tale of two hands. Now I'm a tad worried. I tank for a while and think. Was he playing J9? Not a bad hand to play from the BB for one bet. I call....

Mid-Life Ramblings
http://andrewbergen.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-had-privilege-yesterday-of-attending.html
Tuesday, October 2, 2007. I had the privilege yesterday of attending some afternoon meetings where a preeminent educator from Bath, England (who shall remain nameless) was presenting. I had the even better fortune of sitting down for a pint of Guinness with him after the events and we talked about life, education, and spiritual matters. A fascinating discussion. Thot you'd appreciate that insight, Gil - not that it is surprising or different from anything you've posted or commented on before. A searcher,...

Mid-Life Ramblings: Calling All Teachers (and Learners)
http://andrewbergen.blogspot.com/2008/02/calling-all-teachers-and-learners.html
Sunday, February 10, 2008. Calling All Teachers (and Learners). A thought provoking video by an anthropology class in Kansas. I have nothing to add - but will let these students speak for themselves:. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Posted by Andrew Bergen. Interesting video. I always marvel at the fact that it is the people who are the most apt at navigating the system are the people who become teachers (like me - ha ha). Could things really change? Wow, what a great video! View my complete profile.
