Big Announcement

No, I’m not going to work for Full Tilt.

The news is that I bought a house. I own property in West Santa Barbara Goleta. I closed escrow today. Tomorrow, I’m meeting with a general contractor to figure out all the work that needs to be done:

  • Rewire the whole place because most of the outlets aren’t grounded
  • Remove the popcorn ceiling
  • Repaint
  • Relandscape the backyard
  • I think that’s all. I’m pretty excited about it, and can’t wait to move… or at least can’t wait until I’m finished moving. I will post pictures of it when I can get to it. Right now, the gallery just has pictures of it tented for fumigation.

    Unrelated to all of that, I finally got my pin up in the case at the bowling alley. Click the image at the left for a bigger picture. Now I’m just waiting on the ring.

    Not much to report on the poker front. Really, I’ve been too busy to play much lately, and when I have had time haven’t really felt like it.

    Congrats on the house. Homeownership is fun, but challenging. Expect to spend a lot of weekends at Home Depot.
