Storms wash away my plans.

03-Jul-08

After weeks of anticipating upgrading my Flickr account when I reached 200 photos, I did so yesterday on my lunch hour. While organizing my Flickr photostream with more sets and now collections, storms roll through and knock out power (as well as flood areas, in the building even). I end up spending 17 […]

200th upload to Flickr: My royal python.

30-Jun-08

More commonly known as Ball Pythons. I’ve had her for over 6 years now. Here is some random facts on her:

When I first got her she was 16 inches long, now she is about 5 feet long.
She has only bit me once (so far) and it was my fault.
I feed her frozen/thawed rodents […]

I was aggressive at holdem, and I won.

27-Jun-08

I don’t think that is a coincidence. I’m lucky my brother is into holdem as much (more) as me. We tend to talk about holdem regularly and throw ideas, strategies, and suggestions around. These talks are helpful because often I don’t readily see errors in the way I am playing, or bad […]

Finally some time to blog, maybe even play Holdem.

Hole 14, The Natural golf course. Gaylord, Michigan.
It’s been a busy 10 days, and that’s exactly how long since I’ve played holdem online at Pokerstars. Five of those days were spent up north in Gaylord, Michigan on our annual golf trip. 12 of us played 135 holes in 5 days (should […]

Is the NBA fixed? Soon to be wrestling?

11-Jun-08

I’ve always thought my dogs could officiate better.
I’m not that guy, the one who believes my team lost because of the officiating. With that being said, I’ve always thought the NBA has the worst officiating of all the Pro sports. With the arrest and conviction of referee Tim Donaghy for basically betting on […]

Holdem last night was like my flight home Sunday.

10-Jun-08

Turbulent! We even had to land at a different airport, refuel and fly around the massive severe storm that prevented our first attempt at landing. The pilot tried to land but pulled up just before because of severe wind sheer. One person was so hysterical and afraid that she got off the […]

Last day in San Antonio.

07-Jun-08

This photo is part of beautiful Hemisfair Park, home to the Tower of the Americas (photos of that soon). As you can see the park is full of small pools and waterfalls, it is a very peaceful and soothing park.
I can see why my wife was so excited to come back to San Antonio. […]

Remember The Alamo.

06-Jun-08

I’m quickly finding out San Antonio is rich in history. Everyone has heard of the Alamo, but the Alamo takes on a whole new meaning when you actually get to walk the grounds where so many others stood their ground against impossible odds and gave their lives in a fight for freedom. As […]

Day 2 in beautiful San Antonio.

04-Jun-08

In this photo is the Emily Morgan Hotel, where we are staying. It is a beautiful building, and my understanding is it was basically once a Medical / Doctors building (which I think are just fancy ways of saying it was a hospital). Either way, it is now a great looking hotel, and […]

I’m in San Antonio on vacation.

03-Jun-08

My wife and I flew to San Antonio Tuesday at 9:00 AM. As usual, we had a hiccup while connecting in Chicago, we were stuck in the plane and on the runway for an hour and 35 minutes before take off, but we’re here and so far what I’ve seen is beautiful. My […]
