I spend many a night coon hunting back when I was younger too. The problem right now is that Shortie is such an animal lover she would be very upset if I "plugged" that feller and she found out about it. She even gets upset if I kill a spider instead of relocating it to the outdoors.
Look at 26 USC 7701 (a)(26) for the definition.
The poker tourney now is "play by necessity" for me. I'll play the games that I have to do in order to keep the team in first place. But you can bet it all that I am ducking out every chance I get until I get caught up on more important stuff.
