My passions for Texas Hold ‘em and Photography.
I took this photo at Frederik Meijer Gardens when my wife and I went to see the butterflies, the largest temporary tropical butterfly exhibit in the nation. When I took the photo I was afraid the sculpture was too “open” and might blend in a bit with its surroundings. Luckily the sky was dark blue and [...]
My wife laughs at the things I’ll take a photo of, sometimes I laugh too. I see almost everything as a photo opp though, what can I say. Here is a macro shot of my BlackBerry at a low angle. Then in Picnik I made it black and white except for the green and red [...]
I hate where I live, not the house itself, but the neighborhood it is located in. We’ve had people steal from our yard, vandalize our house and cars, even throw things at our dogs while they are in the fenced in backyard. Needless to say a lot of losers live around us. We know with [...]
Just a few days ago I found out an old friend had an extra ticket to Metallica’s January 13th concert in Detroit. Being a long time fan I snatched up the ticket as fast as I could. I’ve never seen them in concert though, and I suspect this will be my only chance, [...]
I recently decided I’m going to stop including my photography in every post. Instead I will be, for the most part, keeping hold ‘em and photography posts separate. I’m doing this for a few reasons, but mainly because my web page will load faster since every post won’t have a photo in it. The primary [...]
In fact it is commonly said that parrots are like perpetual toddlers. True to form, like a toddler who tosses the toy aside and plays with the box- Bert our African Grey found this box and played with it for a couple hours.
Note: I’ve had a good three straight days of holdem, but I [...]
I spoke too soon. In my last post I talked about having a good start to the week and looking forward to keeping it rolling. Well I effectively wiped out any gains from Monday and Tuesday last night. I know I played bad in many spots, but at the same time I had some bad [...]
The key is finding a cat that likes to sit on boxes, because really that is all that is going on here. Abby has this thing for sitting on or in boxes. I’m getting plenty of photo opps of this exact situation, just different beverage is all. I haven’t had time to [...]
Time for a little holdem update. I played some holdem at Pokerstars this weekend - where I started with $2.00 that I won in a freeroll - and my bankroll is now at a all time high of $169.66. To anyone who plays holdem regularly, that isn’t much. For me though, my [...]
I’m glad I took photos of Bert our African Grey when we first got him. We’ve had him for a little over a year now. I was organizing photos when I came across some of Bert’s newer photos and was surprised to see the difference in his feathers from a year ago. [...]
