Back in the 'no

After a 12 hour flight from Amsterdam to Philly, an hour in customs, a 6 hour flight from Philly to Vegas, a brief stop chilling with Beth Fischman (Scott's sister and our Crew manager), and then a 7 hour drive I am...

Back in Fresno!

I have a bunch of emails to catch up with... about two weeks worth. And I was behind before I left. But I think if I put in a bunch of hours this weekend I'll get caught up.

Thought of a bunch of things on the planeride back. I left my laptop plugin here in the states, and really wish that I'd have brought it so I could have whipped out some poker essays. I'm still going to try and whip some out pretty soon, so keep checking back.

Also watched a cool documentary last night called Word Wars, which is a view on the Scrabble tournament circuit. It was so crazy good. The highlight had to be two players named Marlon Hill and Matt Graham. They remind me so much of some of the poker players I know. Matt Graham sometimes reminded so much of Phil Laak they could be twins. If history was a little different, the poker tournament trail would be a lot like the Scrabble tourney trail. Maybe Scrabble will make it pretty big one day... I hope so because I love the game. Not that great, but have put up some low 500 scores before. Fresno has a scrabble club... maybe I'll drop by one day.

I relisted the 25% auction for the WSOP Circuit event later this month, and it now has a bid. So it will be selling. Check it out by clicking on the link up above.

Anyway, hope you're all doing well. Now that I'm back, I'll be better at answering emails and what not.

Maybe I missed something, but why is there a cow at the end of your entry? If it's there to make me laugh, it worked.

Anyway, good luck in the future tournaments. I wish you were on television more because you're certainly enjoyable to watch.

Breathe that "fresh air" while you can because you have very little time left as a free man.
