I feel Gary's pain. My plate is rather full these days, and I'm currently trying to figure out how to fit sleep into my schedule.

Speaking of Gary, I have to thank him for giving me some props here yesterday. It's always nice to be appreciated. Thanks, G!

I'm sending positive internet vibes to Ryan Schmelzer (fellow Wise Hand blogger) and his family, hoping the chemo and radiation work wonders for his dad. Please keep us informed, Ryan, and know that lots of people are wishing him well.

The Legends of Poker is going on here in L.A., and lots of players are hanging out in Southern Cali this month - catching some rays, eating at some fine L.A. restaurants, and playing a little poker at the Bike. I've been watching some of the results, though I have yet to make the trek out to the casino. I want to give a quick congrats to Danny Wong, a fantastic young player who has had a great year and won the $2500 no-limit hold'em event last week for $124,040, as well as Rick Fuller who took third in the event. I'll definitely be heading over there when the main event starts on Saturday, August 25th for the first of two Day 1's. If you're in L.A., check out the schedule of a month's worth of Legends tournaments at www.TheBike.com.

I hope some of you have had the chance to see the film No Limit: A Search for the American Dream on the Poker Tournament Trail since it's been available on DVD for awhile. It's a good documentary about Susie Genard and her quest for a tournament win while her ex-boyfriend and their mutual son came along for the ride. It's interesting and includes quite a few wise words from pro poker players. Well, it's now available at Netflix, so put it in your queue!

More next time... Have a great week, everyone!
