It has been a minute since my last post, but I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas and brought in the New Year in good fashion. As for me, I enjoyed the holiday season with family and friends. The spark has dimmed slightly on Christmas Eve, though. I miss the days when I would toss and turn all night.... wondering what I would find the next day. Unfortunately, those days seem to be long gone. It is satisfying seeing my children do the same thing, though.
We spent Christmas Eve at home and videotaped the kids opening presents and tearing up the basement. We later drove up to visit the Grandparents.... who spoiled the kids to death, once again. It has only taken a month to get them back in the routine of listening and going to bed before midnight. I am starting to realize how parents get back at you for their struggles... They spoil your children so you have an even tougher time raising them... lol. :)
Anyway, my parents were kind enough to watch them New Years Eve. Karyn & I were able to hit the Chicago club scene with some of the usual suspects. Pictures from the holidays will be posted on the left hand column, as usual.
We all returned home shortly after the New Year. Unfortunately, a couple days later I had to hit the road again. The World Series of Poker & World Poker Tour had some events going on in Tunica, MS. The week and half I spent there was filled with long poker sessions lasting up to 12-14 hours on occasion. It all paid off in the end, though. I made a final table appearance in the WSOP circuit main event. I took 9th place after busting out on a bad beat. Check out the sites below to see more details and see where I am ranked among pros across the world.

I would like to thank those who have responded with comments or emailed me in response to the posts. I hope more of you who receive this will make greater efforts to communicate. The Super bowl & Las Vegas for the All-star weekend are hopefully the next destinations.... pics will be up soon after.
