Trip to the East Coast

Heading to my parents’ house in Charleston, SC for Christmas. It’ll be good to see everyone – some of whom it’s been quite some time. My Dad just got back from fighting in Iraq. I have a new nephew. My baby sister just ended her first quarter of college at Clemson. It should be good times.

But, it will mean a total absence from the felt. And after I had been doing so well. I have put together a nice win streak over the past few weeks. I feel like I have my groove back, and that I’m playing the best poker of my career. I hope the hiatus won’t set me back too much.

For New Year’s Eve I’ll be in New York in Times Square. It should be really exciting, and really cold. But there are no cardrooms anywhere near New York City … have to either go upstate to an Indian casino, or down to Atlantic City. Either would require a trip of several hours, and seems pretty unlikely. So in the end, it could be almost TWO WEEKS without poker. Not sure how I’m going to deal with it. I guess I’ll have to live vicariously through my poker buddies. Hopefully I can sustain the poker dog in me with tales of their exploits. We shall see.
