Anyways, we just moved offices and are a little closer to downtown. Suffice to say that our surroundings have been upgraded from the shithole above a McDonalds to a newly-carpeted office with new desks, tons of space, and a break room (hopefully soon).

While this office change may seem a little trivial or meaningless, it really has complimented some other exciting things going on with me that have given me a feeling of a "Fresh Start." The weather seems to finally be turning a corner and with that comes golf and more activities outdoors. I'm contemplating rejoining my Country Club back in Ohio and have my sights set on their club championship. I've finished my taxes for 2010, changed my parking for my car in my building, and just feel motivated and energized and plan to maybe refocus on some poker with some seriousness and discipline.

I know it's dumb for me to set volume goals or to make any solid plans, but I may be increasing/forcing myself to play some more MTTs to improve my results and afford myself more opportunities when the summer rolls around in Vegas. I'd like to pop my WSOP cherry by playing an event or two, ideally doing well enough in those to get some stakers and sell pieces in the Main Event.

This week is also one of my favorite times of year, The Masters. That place is so magical and looks so pretty on TV. They announced that they'll be selling some badges online for next year's tournament and I think I'm going to bite and try to win some tickets in their lottery. I can't really think of another sporting event or destination that I would label as a "see before I die" type place other than Augusta National.

Picks for the tourney:
Nick Watney
KJ Choi
Ian Poulter

Also, I'm on a 3-game win streak in sports betting to wrap up the Final 4. Just enough to keep me wagering :P
