Ok…I stole this post from my esteemed poker colleague Mr. MacGregor, but what a great idea…planning NOW…. If you are at all interested, let me know and I’ll add you to the list…or heck, just show up ——
I know, I know! It’s 5 months away! But June 7th->14th I’ll be pulling up a seat in [...]

Slow week
Posted in Uncategorized on January 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Life in LA has been rather slow the last week. Nothing new to write about…just hum-drum boring time, lol. Visited our tenants renting our home in Atlanta as they were out here to visit their son Mark. Interesting to see how the ’struggling’ artists live.
He boasts an 1800 sq.ft. home in the ‘hills’ not too [...]
A pretty good LA weekend…

Got the start on Saturday back with my winter league team. I was sick a couple of weeks ago and missed my start, but fortunately threw last weekend a few innings in Orlando. I didn’t feel I had command until the 3rd or 4th and cruised into the 5th, but I walked two in that [...]
The hand that’s been bugging me for the last two weeks!
Posted in Uncategorized on January 18, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Ok – so I’m finally getting around to writing about this one particular hand I played at Commerce two weeks ago. Yes, because it’s bothered me and yes, I lost the hand. And I suppose losing on a 3-outer happens to everyone, but when it’s for a $1,000 and you’re very sure of your hand…, [...]
Back to Los Angeles life…

Ok – star sightings the last week….Rex Lee (Ari’s assistant on Entourage) at good ol’ Bob’s Big Boy (my breakfast spot).
Well, it’s looking more and more like we’re going to be here now through at least the summer since we have our apartment/condo here through August 31st. That’ll allow me to finish the baseball season [...]
Beisbol – Orlando Results…

Headed back from
Orlando today (Monday) after a somewhat successful weekend playing ball. Our team, the Atlanta-Chicago Clowns (long story regarding the name), lost in the championship game 13-3. The score was no true reflection of how close this game really was. The game was 5-3 going to the bottom of the 7th when they scored [...]
Beisbol – X-country – Orlando Style…

Traveled to Orlando (with a stop over in Atlanta) yesterday and we’re now in the middle of playing in the tourney (won this morning 6-5). The fields are immaculate (Atlanta Braves Spring Training facility) and the temperatures are in the low 70’s. Nice.
Foxwoods

After my trip to AC, I turned right around and took the little lady to upstate Connecticut and Mystic part of town (yes, we stopped at Mystic Pizza and I’ll say the pizza in the movie was probably better). Met four other couples at Foxwoods – friends we hadn’t seen since the summer, so that [...]
Atlantic City
Posted in Uncategorized on January 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I had not been to Atlantic City in at least ten years, perhaps longer. Atlantic City was where I ‘cut my teeth’ gaming back in 1991, having lost I think $125 playing blackjack within 20 minutes. After that time, I swore I’d never play another game again without thoroughly understanding the rules and strategies. Everyone [...]
Happy New Year…

….ok so it’s been nearly 3 weeks since I’ve posted, but I’ve been busy.
New years and Xmas were fine. Long ways to travel, but good to see family. Few stops once landed in the tri-state area at Foxwoods, Atlantic City, etc which I’ll comment on in future posts. Brother took some family shots of us [...]
