When I read Verizon is getting the Motorola RAZR I just about jumped out of my chair. It’s such a sweet looking phone and I’ve wanted one since it first came out. I’ve had great performance out of the Kyocera SE 47 Slider, but I’m ready for a change. With Verizon’s New Every Two play I can get a new phone and contract the first part of February.
San Francisco Treat
I’ll be attending Macworld the 2nd week of January with Dave. I’ve been helping out with Mac support at work and this will be my training for the year. I’ve wanted to check out San Fran for quite some time, so I’m excited to go. Hopefully I don’t come home as a switcher, because I hate to say it, but I love Windows.
I can’t wait to see what SF has to offer. I’m a big fan of seafood, so I want to eat around Fisherman’s Wharf a couple of times. It should be a good time all around.
On the flight home we have a 7 hour stay in Las Vegas which should give us 4-5 hours to play some poker on the strip. It’ll be my first time in Sin City, so I’m pretty excited.
Going to Vegas!
I’ll be arriving in Las Vegas on Friday January 13th at 11:34 pm and leaving on Saturday the 14th at 6:35 am. I’ve had a one hour layover in Vegas before, but I’m looking forward to this one. It’ll be my first real time in the Sin City even if it’s only for 7 hours. Dave and I will be coming back from MacWorld in San Francisco and he rigged our flights for a long layover (which was actually cheaper). We’ll be running off the plane for the nearest taxi. Which casino should we hit up for some low limit hold’em? We’ll most likely have 4-5 hours to work with.
A Sporting Thanksgiving
As posted previously, I attended a few professional sports events over the Thanksgiving holiday. Last Wednesday (Nov. 23) my parents left Rogers City bright and early. I’m not sure why they came down so early, but I wasn’t too happy that they interrupted my Xbox 360 time since I had just hooked it up the night before. Luckily they went off to do a little shopping and I had a little more time by myself. We met up with my brother and ate lunch at the mall.
Warning! This post might be a novel since it’s been weeks since my last “real” update.
No Time for Poker
I still haven’t been playing any poker lately. In fact, I haven’t played at all since my Xbox 360 arrived. Yes, it’s that great of a video game console! I’m hoping this nice little break will renew my focus and I can get back to beating the limit games. I’ve had some recent success with the two big tournament finishes, but I think in the end I’m a better limit player. I just don’t have the balls to play a great game of no-limit. Hopefully I’ll be back to the tables this weekend.
Edit: I should have titled the post “Not Making Time for Poker” because it’s my choice.

Missing but not Lost
I’ve been absent from this here blog lately and the trend will continue for at least a few more days. I going to three games the next three days and my Xbox 360 arrived yesterday. That doesn’t leave much time for blogging and surfing the Internet. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!
Just a Little Bit
I’ve played very little poker lately and the trend will continue for another week or two. I’m going to the Red Wings game tonight, Lions game tomorrow, and Pistons on Friday. How’s that for a Thanksgiving? I also received my Xbox 360 yesterday so that will be taking up a lot of my free time. […]
Feeding at the Trough
I just realized that I feed at the trough way too much.
Testing the Xbox 360
If I wasn’t excited before, I am after reading an early review of the Xbox 360.
