May has been a good month for me in nearly every aspect except for getting work done for Wise Hand Poker. I am back in my hometown and have had fun getting back together with the high school friends. I need to start making more time for writing though.

I was going to finish the biography on Stu Ungar and write a review on it during school. I was too busy and didn’t finish the book. I was going to do it once I got back here; I have managed to finish one whole chapter in the three weeks I have been home. I should have that done though soon. I am also supposed to be working on a project for the site. I spent an afternoon on it a few weeks back and haven’t done anything with it since. I am going to have to make some time for these things.

The WSOP starts tomorrow. Unfortunately, I will not be in Las Vegas to watch everything go down. Being the poor college student that has to beg for money, I can’t afford to spend my summer in the Mecca of poker. Next year I will probably try my get an internship or something with a poker site/magazine to cover the WSOP. All of you that are headed for the WSOP or the other tournaments in the next few months like the Bellagio Cup, I wish all of you the best of luck!
