So sorry...

I apologize for my lack of interaction as of late. Since I last left a posting, I played at the Pendleton Spring Poker Round-Up. I entered 2 events, the $500 and $1000 main event No Limit Texas Hold-em tournaments. Each tourney had about 300 entrants including many pros. At one point in the main event, there were at total of 7 WSOP bracelets at my table. I managed to outlast them all, cashing in both events. There was only 1 other person who managed to cash in both of these (2 largest buy-ins). It was a great confidence-builder as I prepare to go to the World Series in June...
Other than that, the only other major event in my life was foolishly participating in "Drunken Tuesday." This involves starting before noon and bouncing all thru town drinking at all the pubs, taverns and lounges in town (some more than once.) Somewhere between 3AM and 6AM Wednesday morning, UncleNutJob managed to fall down and crack his knee-cap. After using a cane for over a week, I am proud to say I am carrying on with an almost imperceptible limp. cheers!!!
