Happy New Year!

I have been inspired by MoC's barrage of new posts to update my blog and wish everyone a Happy New Year! I'll start from the last post. I returned from Vegas recharged and excited to play after 5 winning sessions and 1 loser at the Bellagio poker tables. I even got a little time in at the Luxor and the Palms casinos, as well. I won a little at Blackjack overall, but lost at craps every time, which is why I usually avoid the game in Atlantic City. Thanksgiving was great with a wonderful family gathering at the Top of the World restaurant at the Stratosphere and a trip Downtown to Fremont Street for a taste of old school Vegas. One of the highlights was watching poker pro Phil Ivey playing some high stakes craps at the Bellagio with six figure bets on each roll of the dice! I've included some more pics below.
I played for a bit in the World Series of Poker Circuit event at Harrah's in early December, but came up short of the money. I haven't played much at all with the holidays upon us, but will be getting back to the felt in the next week or so.
Christmas was great and New Year's Eve was a bit more quiet than years past, but fun just the same (see MoC's blog for pics).
Lauren and I will be heading off to the Bahamas on the 15th of this month. From the moment we are picked up at the airport in our chauffer-driven Rolls Royce we will be experiencing the ultimate in luxury vacationing, including a personal butler at our beck and call 24/7! I'm especially looking forward to that trip!
Well, that about does it as far as updates. Wishing you all the best in 2008!

Maybe with your winnings you could upgrade your camera capabilities before your trip? Just a thought. Your photo's are National inquirer "Saskwatch" quality---very grainy, out of focus. Not to mention, who and what are they of?
