Santana to NY, the other NY – Yanks and BoSox winners

By now it’s old news the NY Mets have traded for Johan Santana, one of the top pitchers in this era and maybe the best. The Mets trumped the Yanks and BoSox offers and there’s some pretty clear winners and losers in this trade. The effect on baseball is profound as what could have been [...]

Quick, where’s my ark? Noah where are you? All it did was pour this weekend…actually for the last week. It’s finally sunny today and about 62 degrees. But sorry JP. Your visit included about 4 inches of the wet stuff! In spite of that, it was a fun weekend.
We hit two establishments including two historic [...]

After playing ball all day, I met up with Min and Shane at the hotel and we went for bite to eat. Afterwards I put Mr. Shane to bed – Min was long out by 9:30pm, my little party animal girl! I left at around 11 the 0.3 miles to the Spa Resort & Casino [...]

The cutest thing happened yesterday as Min, Shane and I were headed out to take Shane to a local crafts/arts place for him to paint-away. We were leaving and usually when we go out in the morning, Shane and I have a ritual where we go to our front door, and he grabs the ‘newspaper’ [...]
Baseball – weekend tournament

Every year since 2000 I’ve gone to the MSBL Disney Tournament in Orlando. But since I was on the west coast, I opted to play in the Palm Springs tournament this year instead. It was an 18+ tournament and I think this was the first time I played in an 18+ tourney in about 2-3 [...]
Weight Loss Wager – drum roll please…

Well, the wager was between Mr. MacGregor and I over who could reach their goal. I – to lose 20lbs, he to gain 20lbs. I believe he’s reached his goal as of this final day, while I on the other hand have come up just short! Final result for me weighing in this morning – [...]
Poker – The Bike’s Deepstack Tourney – event 1 – NL335
Posted in Poker on January 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Tourney #2 in 2008 didn’t go as well as tourney #1 (10th). There were 305 participants poneying up the $335 and receiving 5,000 in tournament chips. I fared well early doubling up after the first couple of rounds mostly by getting decent cards and being patient, letting others hang themselves (the guy with AA vs. [...]

It’s been a weak winter season for celeb sitings. Zac has been laying low, I’ve not seen Vanessa, and even Stefano must be on vacation. Probably the strike has something to do with the celeb hibernations.
I apparantly ‘just’ missed Ms. Spears (the non-prego one), the other day by several hours. She apparantly was in Studio [...]
Poker – my KK vs. AA

Journeyed to Las Vegas this past Friday to Saturday for a quick trip for a friend’s birthday. I actually wound up seeing him only for dinner on Friday and then lunch on Saturday. I somehow missed their plight over to Pure over at Caesar’s since they left w/o giving me a heads up and then [...]
