I will take my first vacation in over four years to visit my kids in Oregon next month. I got beat up during the 08 financial debacle and have just now fought my way back. It has been a tough fight.

I have not seen my three year old grandson yet.

I am also going to see if I can still play poker. I used to make a good living playing poker, but I have not played in over four years and am getting long in the tooth. I really have no idea what will happen. But if I cannot beat the game I will not play. I am good about that.

I will go to Diamond Lil's first in Renton, Washington as they have the main $20/$40 hold em games in the Seattle area.. Five years ago I beat that game almost every time. They are good players: dealers, kids with head phones and random good players. If I can beat that game I will go south where they have larger games.

I have a rule that I never play more than two racks at any one game. That way I limit my losses if I am off my game. $20/$40 uses $5 chips and $30/$60 $10 chips and $50/$100 $25 chips. I will try and work my way up.

I am excited to see if I still have it. And feel the sunshine. I told the kids I want to go to the Eel river and swim and snorkel.
