If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you already know that this past week I have been traveling Hawaii. Only one more week to go!
So far, I have been to Oahu, Lanai, and Maui. Hawaii is as beautiful as I had heard (my first time here) and I have enjoyed each island. Next island is the Big Island. Flying home on Thursday.
When you are visiting Hawaii, you MUST:
“My friends thought I was nuts opening a restaurant in Hawaii on the 3rd floor of an office building with no parking and no ocean view.” (AW) Yet nearly 15 years later, the unique location of Alan Wong’s Restaurant Honolulu continues to be the heart of where it all started and where it all happens.
Ooops, time to go… I’ll continue later. Aloha…

Sad news to report today… Phil Ivey and his wife Luciaetta were granted a divorce today, Tuesday, December 29. The two filed a joint petition in a Nevada court three days before Christmas. They were high school sweethearts and married since 2002.
Best of luck to Phil and Luciaetta as they start the New Year on their new journeys.
As usual, I have been spending the morning reading up on the poker news and events. I came across a new organization that I had not heard of before (Taser Foundation’s) Hold’em for Heroes. It is a non-profit that provides for families of our fallen law enforcement officers.
While perusing the website, I came across a list of celebrities and poker pros who where scheduled to play in their latest charity event – and – found this blooper.

This is former Dallas Cowboy Dale Hellestrae
Thanks to the Taser Foundation for providing a chuckle. (I get fatigued going through the poker blogs… and this made me crack a big smile.
)
