I'm retired and live in Concord, MA - the birthplace of America -surrounded by history and within the sound of "the shot heard 'round the world." It brings me a tremendous sense of place, peace and gratitude.

I am really enjoying RP and the people here. So many of you have given me helpful advice and taught me to play the game better. I love friendly and fun banter at the tables. This is a competition but it is the social aspect that makes it worthwhile to me, so please feel free to introduce yourself and chat.

I have a Maine Coon cat hence my RP name.

I am the co-founder of The Barnyard Muckers League which promotes a variety of team poker and also play on a team in the TPP League. Feel free to ask me about either one.

Please remember that many people on this site are struggling with financial, family, personal or health issues so please put kindness first. We have no idea what a person's individual circumstances may be or why they are playing at this moment in time. This is a game. It is also a community. Graciousness might be all it costs - either to offer a kind word or simply say nothing at all.
