So in going to the San Diego area I was honestly well aware there are a few cardrooms in the area. Heck, it is vacation and I believe I’m partially here to enjoy myself. Received permission to play an evening and Ocean’s Eleven is Oceanside is only but 10 miles from the hotel. Played only [...]

So in lieu of flying to Hawaii or to Jamaica, Aruba, etc., we’ve opted to drive this vacation. I mean, we’re already in Southern California, how much better is the weather going to be? We are staying one night (last night) at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach. First, I’ll start by saying, [...]

In discussing our vacation, it was discussed where to stay and for how long. We decided 3-4 days and since we were going to be in the San Diego area (near Carlsbad), why not try the new Bed & Breakfast opened by Ms. Tori Spelling and her husband. Mindy and I love B&B’s and have [...]

So headed out on vacation yesterday, Shane and his parents were invited to a year-end party celebrating the end of the school year and commencement of summer. The class mom, a nice stay-at-home woman with a 3 year old (in Shane’s class) and a one-year old, offered up her home and sent out invitations, etc. [...]

Back in Atlanta for now…

Back in Atlanta for the week. The house is vacant. The tenants have moved out. Everything seemingly went smoothly. However, my ‘property manager’ for which we paid on average $240/month plus one month’s rent ($3,000) for a grand total of about $6,700 total over the course of the loan period, did not do ’squat’! They [...]

Back to reality (somewhat). It’s been an odd week and it’ll just getter odder. I have lots of stuff going on work-wise and then personally I have my in-laws in town. I’m headed to Atlanta next week and then on vacation the following week.

WSOP trip – on my way home…

Well had intended on issuing more updates, however rarely saw the inside of my hotel room. It was a long weekend and to add to it, my flight from LV to Burbank is now delayed another hour. Great. But overall it was a decent trip. In spite of the lack of sleep, I feel relaxed [...]
WSOP trip – Day Two

Ok, I’m tired, and a little down after bowing out 43rd of 560 to finish three out of the money. I can second guess myself, but I said early on that if I go out, it’ll be in the lead and I was. But still would have been nice to earn back at least my entry [...]
WSOP trip – Thursday (day one)

Alright, about to board my flight on Southwest. It’s 59 minute ’scheduled’ flight but in reality you’re in the air for 38 minutes. Just enough time to do a shot of java and maybe catch those last 10 minutes of sleep I missed out on last night. Blue skies outside and I believe the forecast [...]
