I’ve never been into Halloween. Going around begging for candy from strangers, throwing eggs at houses and blowing up mailboxes. Gets a little old when you’re in your mid-30s, but not so much when you have a two-year old. Mr. Shane heading into his third Halloween (a crayon for his first and Superman for his [...]

If you play this game long enough, you’ll continue learning (hopefully) and if you learn from your mistakes, you ’should’ improve. Well, anytime I make a mistake in this game, I take it as an opportunity improve upon my game. Well, I have two such opportunities ‘to learn’ from my play last night – one, [...]

So I finally was able to attend my first ‘world series’ in Phoenix. As most of you know, I always go to Tampa for the Fall Classic, a men’s baseball tournament every November. The equivalent to that is the World Series in Arizona. Way to far from Atlanta, but living in LA, it’s only a [...]

Life in Los Angeles as temporary or permanent as this may be, has had a way of accentuating my age. I go to the gym and there’s typically the young pups getting themselves into shape. We go to a nice restaurant, and it’s peppered with old money and older people behind it. Atlanta is a [...]

At the airport now ready to head back to LA. The good news is that we only live 4 miles from the Burbank airport. Makes it easy. Plus book it ahead of time and with taxes I believe it’s only a $117 round trip flight!
Got in last night and enjoyed a nice dinner at Delmonico’s [...]

Ms. Mindy’s been all over the world the last 5-6 weeks – London, Paris, Brookfield, Connecticut, but now it’s my time to travel. I was in Atlanta last week and headed to Arizona and Tampa in the next month to play baseball, Vegas for a “trade show”, ahem, and back to Atlanta in mid November.
I [...]
My trip to Atlanta

Overall it was a good trip to Atlanta. Went to Andretti’s for work to celebrate the two- year anniversary of our TALENThire.com product and that was a blast. Riding the go-karts was a trip and I fared well. Played some cards of course Wednesday and Friday evenings and took home about $600, so that was [...]

Celeb sighting of the week – actor Don Cheadle at the Commerce Casino earlier this week playinga a NL200 table. He had about $600 in front of him, so seemingly was doing well. He was on the next table over from me - and although there was a seat, the table I was at was pretty [...]
