I have been working for a while now to design two decks of playing cards to benefit The Hayden Scholarship Foundation. They are finally done and we have had lots of interest and sales. Thanks for all the support everyone. Check it out at www.TheHaydenScholarship.com. Thanks.
Been playing the Sunday Millions on those rare days when I am here .. always interesting to see how much different online play is than live play. I like live better though, much easier to read people for all the obvious reasons. Well back to work.
I’ve certainly logged my hours in DC the last 30 years but cant really say I enjoy the city. You only get rare good weather days (it wasnt this week) and it is so power hungry i’ve just never been a fan. Flew all day Tuesday, board meeting all day Wednesday and was glad when that ended. Thursday and Friday i got to spend with a dearest of friends and that was good for my soul and good for my personal jouney. When youve known someone 25 years theres pure value in sitting and bearing your soul. I was ambivilent about the trip but am glad I made it. More as this unfolds.
Hmm tried to post a picture Marie Lizette took at the LA Event but the picture doesnt come through only the link. The player next to me is McLean Kerr, winner of the Bay 101 last year

Woke up this morning facing the daunting task of flying east tomorrow. Theres bad weather, delays, late flights, etc. Not that I haven’t had 30 years of it, but … I did decide to make the trip and know it will be good to be amongst my dearest friends. Sierra is starting ballet today so we came straight from school to the ballet theatre. On the way, we passed a tutoring place. Lincoln says maybe he should go there as he struggles with math. I say yeah we just need to work more on subtraction. He says he understands subtraction but doesnt understand that thing where people go knock on their neighbor’s door and ask for sugar. I had a very difficult time figuring out what he was talkimg abiut, which isnt unusual, but i knew it meant something. It took some probbing but we finally got to the narrative math problems where people borrow a cup of sugar from a neighbor and return a pound. Funny kid.
I like Fridays. My children like Fridays, today is their spelling test, which we have done numerous times this week. If they do well I do something special for them (ice cream/nails) but if they make 100 I give them $10, which they love more than anything. Lincoln likes to buy toys and Sierra loves (and I do mean loves) clothes. Wonder where in the world she gets that. Today I’m going to play at the MGM, they have a small daily tournament. I learned to play at the MGM and it therefore holds a special place in my heart. I have a friend learning his way through tournament poker there so I’m going to go and see if I can offer some hands on advice by watching his play, discussing hands during break, etc. Should be fun for a few hours.
