Service announcement to my clients: I apologize if you've emailed myself or Kathleen in the last few days and no one has gotten back to you. Apparently while I was in Vegas last week, something happened with my web server and my site was down for several hours on Thursday and Friday. We are still having email issues and not sure if we've received them all. If you don't get a reply by the close of business today, please send your note again.

Speaking of Vegas, I am headed back later this week for PMA? Anyone going to be in town for the show? Up for any late night poker?

I saw this quote on Seth Godin's blog and it made me feel so much better about my writing style (or lack there of):

Just say it

Don't let the words get in the way. If you're writing online, forget everything you were tortured by in high school English class. You're not trying to win any awards or get an A. You're just trying to be real, to make a point, to write something worth reading.

So just say it.

Sorry for leaving y'all hanging with last Monday's post about the surprise thing I did last weekend. I was hoping to get the images to post (because blog posts with images are so much more interesting), but the photographer hasn't come through and emailed me the files yet, so I'll just tell you what we did without the photos. Last weekend Jessica and I went to poker school, more specifically, the WPT Bootcamp and it was so much fun and very helpful. It was her Christmas present to me and I am so thankful because it's really an investment in my future (at least that's what I told her as I was begging for the present). I've won several Sit and Go tournaments since last weekend, I've tripled my online poker bankroll and I made 2 final tables while in Vegas last week. Jessica actually won a small tournaments that we played in. I'll be playing in the WSOP circuit event in San Diego this week and next, as well as the LA Poker Classic in February, not to mention another trip to Vegas later this week. It's much more fun playing now that I have a better idea of what I am doing.

I haven't seen the U2 3D movie yet, but I'll get to it asap. I finally saw "There Will Be Blood" and that movie was a very interesting piece of storytelling. Not what I thought it was going to be about at all. Great film though. I saw Daniel Day Lewis won the Sag award for best actor last night, and I think he's a shoe in for the Oscar as well.

I am kinda wishing I sold my Apple stock when it was over $200 per share a couple of weeks ago. But I guess now might be a good time to pick up some more.
