I Had To Leave Las Vegas
“Drive Safe. Come Back Soon,” the sign read. As we passed it, I glanced over my shoulder and read “Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas.” The strip doesn’t look that impressive under the scorching sun, but the view on the way in looks a lot better than the view on the way out.
Here’s the thing: I’m [...]
My Callback Is On Saturday
I don’t think I got on television yet, but my first audition for the final table of the main event went well enough. I finished the day with 42,700 chips, which is about average at this stage of the game. More importantly, I’m still alive, and I’ll be back on Saturday to play Day 2B.

Read moreGrilled cheese, eh?
I just ate a grilled cheese sandwich for the third time in 15 years. The other two times were this past week in Toronto. The time before these three was over 15 years ago in Montreal. I’m not from Canada, but I guess it’s kinda like the land of grilled cheese for me.
There was a [...]
