Greetings Earthlings!

Back from the place of unreality called Las Vegas. As usual we stayed at the Orelans. Had a great time player slots, video poker, and some freeze-out tournaments at the Luxor.

( What we did.... )

In all had a great time and I think Ive finally convinced Ann we need to move away from the damn snow!

Gordy and Brandee for New Years we played a 12 person poker tournament. It had a ten dollar buy in and we paid out to four places. And believe it or not I came in first! It was nice to win for a change. I started out very slow and I thought I was going to be out really fast. Then I started getting some decent hands and the flops to go with them. By the time we had the final table going I had enough chips to use the power of the big stack to buy a few pots.

Afterwards we played some games on the X-box. Gordy got for Christmas Midway Arcade Treasures that had a lot old arcade games on it like Gauntlet, Defender, Tapper, and best of all Rampage.

Also from e-Bay I got Friendly Dictators, Coup D'etat, Iran-Contra Scandal, and Rotten to the Core trading cards sets that Eclipse Comics published back in the late 80's.

Saw War of the Worlds this afternoon with Ann. I had lowered expectations going because of the Tom Cruise PR overload that last couple months, but it was well done movie told thru the eyes of a father and his daughter. Dakota Fanning was excellent in her part.

I was glad that Tom Cruise's character didnt become some sort of Rambo hero in the movie.

Tonight I am off to play in the Monthly Poker Game. Hopefully this time I will win more than one hand like the few months.

And lastly I found a new flavour of Fuze Tangerine Grapefruit is very yummy. If you are someone looking to watch your sugar and carb intake Fuze has lots of yummy flavours. See more at www.fuzebev.com
