Weekend Update

Saturday I was itching to play some poker so I decided to play in an online tournament. We started out with 4096 players with the top 512 finishing "in the money" (getting paid). I ended up getting knocked out in 210th place and was happy with my performance overall, considering I am a little rusty in the large multi-table tournament arena. That took up a good part of my Saturday, and then Lauren and I made our way over to Ted's little shindig later that night.
We slept in late Sunday and missed Super Sunday in Media, but I prefer the Food Festival anyway.
Last night as I lay in bed looking up at the stars and the sky I couldn't help but wonder, "where the hell is the ceiling?"!

A Night at the Circus

Lauren and I went to the Ringling Brothers circus at the Spectrum last night and had a great time. We had Celebrity VIP passes with front row seats for all of the action and it was awesome to experience everything so up close and right in front of your eyes. We were invited to join in at one point but we opted not to leave our seats. We would have been paraded around the arena in a large circus float, but I think we would have missed alot of the action going on, too. Afterwards we both thought maybe we should have done it, though.
I've always enjoyed the circus and this was my favorite by far. There's always so much going on you never know where to watch. At one point there was even two people on a motorcycle riding on a high wire right above our heads!
Here are a few of the pics I snapped with my camera phone.
The last pic is of Kelly the elephant painting a picture with a paint brush in her trunk which was pretty funny to see!

Borgata Pics

These pics are of one of our recent stays at the Borgata and the beautiful suite they provided for us. There are only two levels of suites nicer than this one, but until I have a seven figure credit line with the Borgata I probably won't be staying in them as they rent for about $10k a night. I think you can rent this one for about $3500 a night. Flat screens in every room, including the master bathroom (there wasn't one in the smaller bath off the entry vestibule). The view through the floor to ceiling windows was mesmerizing for Lauren. The last pic is from my point of view on the sofa looking back into the bedroom. My feet made their way into this shot.

A Few Bahamas Pics

OK, so I know it's been a few months since I got back from the Bahamas with Lauren, but here are some of the pics I took with my camera phone. I finally got the send pic feature fixed on my phone yesterday so here they are! Better late than never, right? These pics are of the Royal Bahamian Suite, the nicest suite in the resort. They start out with Lauren on the balcony. I still need to scan the 35mm pics I took and will post them as soon as I do.
