This was taken with my cell phone, and is a little choppy, but at least in person it is kind of funny to view:

Basically from a staircase you can't see in the video, he can jump up onto this decorative ledge and then he walks across it... And since the ledge is about 2 inches wide, when he goes across it he can't turn around, so his only option is back pedaling across it. It's too high off the ground for him to really be considering jumping off it. Don't worry mom, he's not going to die even if he ever happens to fall from here!



The rest of my life is going well. 2009 for poker started off kind of meh, but I've dug out of it and am up $22,000 so far on the year. We got a 4-plex that has a verbal agreement on and the bank should be signing the purchase agreement Monday or Tuesday at the latest, then comes the real work of getting it inspected, shopping around banks for the best loan option, arranging lawyer meetings to set up an LLC for my real estate investment group, and then finding the right contractors to get our 4-plex fully ready to be rented. I continue having ideas flow quite easily for my book I'm trying to write. I hope I can keep up this pace and it might actually even be done in a few months! And finally my camera is set to get delivered any day now. I can't wait to get out around town and try my best photographer impression.


I'd like to be able to get out to LA for some live poker soon, I just don't know when life will afford me the moment to. If it keeps being frigidly cold in MN though I may have to sneak away for a few days...Otherwise I figure sometime close to the end of January is when I'll finally make it out there. BK, John and Dave all flew out there earlier tonight, I'm jealous I simply cannot possibly go this week.


That's 2009 in a nutshell so far -- keeping quite busy and focused! :)
