Happy New Year!

So it's a new year, and I'm back in my office. I'm kind of glad Christmas is over... it's always a lot of stress, and this year was no different. Spent a lot of time with Gianna's family, which is kind of akward. But at least her dad is finally coming around... he took great pleasure in showing me all of his guns and his knife room. I think that's a good sign that he's either warming up or planning to kill me. Seriously, though, he gave me a pretty nice coat for christmas, and it's probably one of my favorite presents besides what I got from Gianna.

This month I have a few things planned. First, I'm going back to Ft. Lauderdale to try and work something out with the Check Raise Productions people about the show they're working on. They are going to be doing some shooting, so I'm flying back down there on Friday for a week with Gianna. Maybe we'll hook up with the Miami crew... wouldn't be bad to hang out a bit with Chino and Ewe.

After we get back from Ft. Lauderdale, Gianna and I are headed out to Las Vegas for a tradeshow. After that, we're off to EUROPE! Gianna won a seat into the EPT tournament in Denmark on Pokerstars in one of the FPP tournaments. She's been working on her game a lot lately, and it finally paid off. I've never been to Europe before, and now I get to go and coach her through this tournament. We'll see how it works out. I'd absolutely love it if Gianna took down that tournament.

Goals for this year :

(1) Work harder on Intervault and put up some cool sites... get the company healthy.

(2) Play more poker and build a bankroll in time for the WSOP.

(3) Stay off the cigs.

(4) Play and win the main event this year at the World Series of Poker.

(5) Qualify for the WPT Pro Poker Tour.

(6) Start running and shed some of this baby fat.
