Sorry about the low post frequency. Life and the new job are both pretty crazy. I don’t really expect that to change much until December, but keep checking back … I am still alive.
Last weekend I tried to qualify to play in the Magic: The Gathering Canadian National Championship. I played in 2 single elimination […]
Another extra long weekend for Mike. Travis came down with pink eye last week and we couldn’t send him to daycare. I bravely volunteered to take the Thursday and Friday before the long weekend off while Heidi handled the load earlier in the week. Travis probably didn’t need to stay home by the time it […]
Well this past weekend I really tried to spread out the laziness to fill the whole weekend. Heidi did a very good job of pampering me, especially Sunday. I didn’t do the best as far as eating which resulting in no loss of weight this week (I was at a low of 231.4 on Friday […]
Pretty quiet weekend around the house not too much to report. I wasn’t extremely impressed with the weigh in this morning either … 234.2 which is a loss of a little less then a pound for the week. A little short of the 3lbs/week I have been clocking on pretty consistently. I won’t get discouraged […]
First things first … what did we learn from last nights Pirate Master premiere? Well it started off a little slow but turned a corner half way through. It is a little big brother and a little survivor. The most interesting part of the game is the aspect of your winnings/treasure and being able to […]
It feels like it has been forever since I had a vacation and I guess it has been. I took some time off when Travis was born but there was not exactly a lot of relaxing then. December 15th is my last day of work for the year. I will be on vacation until the […]

What up dogg? I don’t see you down here at the big event. I figured someone with such mad poker skillz would be here […]
What a busy and exciting weekend. But first, the bad news. This morning it was revealed to me that I had gained back the pound I had spent the previous two weeks losing (weigh in at 245). I expected it to be worse then this, this past weekend included several meals in restaurants including one […]
Well I am sure a lot of you have heard about all of the legal hub-bub-aloo (sorry about the fancy law talk but I am a lawyer on the side you know) with regards to online gambling in the US. What ever eventually is resolved from this it will probably effect us (Canadians) in some […]
Saturday night I played in a No-Limit Hold’em Tournament and 2 times I was dealt pocket jacks (JJ) and both times they won. Of course I pushed all in with them both times before the flop and both times everyone folded. But a win is a win and when talking about the worst hand in […]
