I grew up celebrating Christmas as a family day. It was a day where we all got together and opened presents and as a young’en, the sheer excitement of rifling downstairs on Xmas morning to find a mound of presents and stuffed stockings was just amazing. Well, I’ve always wanted my son to experience that [...]

Ok, so I’m probably jumping the gun somewhat but I’m also running a little batty at home all day, Mindy’s in Hong Kong, and with the post-Thanksgiving lull, things have been quiet. But am starting to plan for my impending return to Atlanta. Yes, it’s premature, yes, there’s no guarantee I’m coming back, but it’s [...]
The ‘day after Thanksgiving’ lull…
Posted in Uncategorized on November 27, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
It could be me – of which I’m sure many things are – but the Monday after Thanksgiving always seems to go in slow motion. People are still groggy from their long weekend slumber and if there’s one place they don’t want to be, well, it’s work. Doing what I do (recruiting), I fell a [...]
Big draws and ‘gambling’…

I consider myself a student of the game of poker. I’m still very much learning the nuances of the game and am getting close to ready to bump up in levels, probably in the next two-three months or so from 2/5NL to 5/10NL. But I’ve always had questions surrounding many of the professional poker players [...]
Commerce – back in session…dueces are awesome.

Opted to take off the day before Thanksgiving, or at least a half-day. Played a twelve hour session at Commerce from 2pm through 2am. The first three hours were pretty rough at a fairly aggressive table with some maniacs. Wound up on the short end of three large hands of which I was the favorite [...]
Thanksgiving

So, Thanksgiving and the holidays are here. What are YOU thankful for? Personally, I’m thankful for having a wonderful family – a great wife, a miraculous little guy that brings joy into my life with every breath he takes. I’m thankful for my health, for having good friends, thankful for my clients, thankful for any poker [...]
Touche’

Well, back out west and had a sub-par Friday night of cards. I figured I was due for an ‘off’ night after my last post, but had a positive outlook going into the evening. Played at the game off Howell Mill and was up about $150 when I literally “he-hawed” off about $100 of which [...]
Atlanta visit – east coast card playin’

Played some cards Wednesday night at the new hot-spot for poker playing in Atlanta. Mr. F is doing a wonderful job hosting and takes probably the lowest and fairest rake in town. He does Monday, Wednesday and Friday games and I’ve been impressed with how well things are run. So kudos to him.
The games are [...]
Ronald Reagan Museum

Ronald Reagan, our esteemed 40th President of the United States was the president I most remembered growing up. He was president from when I was 10 through 18, definitely and influential time in my life.
So when we passed by the Simi Valley located Presidential Library a few weeks ago, we decided to make a day [...]
Baseball Winter League start

Got back from Tampa where I threw ‘ok’ but I felt good there throwing nine innings. So going into the winter league out here in LA I was optimistic about my pitching debut with my new wood bat team. My team from over the summer, to put it nicely ’stunk’, but these guys seem to [...]
