Post Tonight ... Hopefully

Since this is really the first night I have spent in my house, I have quite a bit to do around here. Plus 10 days off of work has a way of causing more work. I have all the notes in a little notebook that just need to be put to screen. I may actually try a first draft and edit for a change instead of the normal drivel that spews from my fingers.

I'm Alive and (not so) Well

We are back from Vegas. This was not my typical trip since the wife was with me, but expect a full trip report Tuesday.

We are off to Michigan tonight to go fishing on the Lake for Memorial Day. I doubt I will catch anything like this.

I will let you know that whatever winnings I had had were successfully given back to the poker tables after three incredibly bad beats. Just know that AA, KK, and 66 were cracked and cracked big.

More Coming ...

Just a quick note. Arrived yesterday. Sat down at a $2/4 table. Won a $70 pot but I was afraid. Had Cowboys but board paired 3s on the flop. River brought a third 3. At that point I couldn't get away from the pot. Won with the full boat against the guy who held J5 and had the boat with Jacks and threes.

Not too much else to report on the $2/4 game.

Saw 'O' at Bellagio. Had to take the wife to a show. Awesome to say the least. They did stuff I didn't think was humanly possible.

Sat down this morning for a NL tournament at the Flamingo. $50 + 5 buy-in. I finished 3rd for my first real live tournament in Vegas. I'll take it. I should have been in for 2nd, but the guy wouldn't go away. Caught a river 3 for pair of threes against the big stack to stay in the game when all he had was the small blind.

Playing in tomorrow's tourney.

Check back for more.

T-Minus

3 days, 5 hours, and 17 minutes until my flight leaves for Las Vegas. I can't wait. This week has gone soooo slow, but I can't speed up the rotation of the earth, so I will trust that the week is going at normal speed.

The wife is done with her first year of law school tomorrow at noon. I will be taking her out to Pauly's favorite place Hofbrauhaus for some one liter beers and table dancing.

I unfortunately won't be completely away from work while in Vegas, so I will have an update or two while out there.

Wish I could be going one week later to attend the convention.

Fucking Awesome!

The new XBOX 360 is fucking awesome! I have been waiting for this show ever since I saw screenshots and hints popping out.

Go check it out ... go to Google and type in XBOX 360. If you are a gamer ... it's worth it.
