That's all I have to say about that. I did get to stay in a nice two bedroom suite. Picked up a cougar to have dinner with one night. Two days later, I was eating room service alone in the room. Had some very good meals and some meh meals. Discovered that greyhounds are very yummy. Full detailed trip report may or may not be coming. Don't really want to relive it.

Las Vegas!
T-minus 17 hours to touchdown. Don't have a lot planned for this trip. Play some blackjack, maybe a little craps, the IGT headsup machine, maybe get some poker in at Bellagio if they can get an 80/160 or 100/200 game going, a least one massage, some fine gourmet meals, and probably a visit or two to the petting zoo. Might try and hookup with Harborlaw387 while I am out there. But we have never met in real life, so that might be a little difficult to do, but we'll see.
I need to drop my girls off at school in the morning, then get back home, pack my things, and then pick up my buddy and we're off for the airport.
Depending on how I feel, I may or may not be doing nightly (or more likely early morning) updates chronicling my adventures in Las Vegas.

Poker Hiatus
Won't get much poker in here over the next couple of weeks. At least not locally. I'm headed off to Vegas until Saturday, and then my wife is headed out for her Caribbean adventure the week after next and I will be at home watching the kids. My wife turns 40 this year, and she has always wanted to go on a cruise. I, however, hate boats with a passion. I get motion sick relatively easy, and it seems every time I have been on a boat, I have fed the fishes stuff I didn't even know that I ate.
In any case, for my wife's birthday, I offered to send her, her 3 sisters and her mom on a cruise. I paid for their cruises, they just needed to get to Miami on their own. They are all pretty excited about it. My wife just today asked me about what I think she should pack. I told her to just google it. In return and in part for my birthday that I just had my wife said I could go to Las Vegas for a few days, so I jumped at the offer and I'm T-minus 23 hours from splashdown at McCarran International Airport.

Semi-Retirement
It's official. I am no longer employed. I am officially in semi-retirement. Lots of reasons why, but primarily I've decided that I have gotten out of engineering what I wanted and it was time to move on and find something else to do. Fortunately, I am in a financial position where I can afford to make this move now. I've decided to attend law school and pursue intellectual property law, with the intent of becoming a patent attorney. With my technical background in engineering I believe that patent law makes the most sense, although I will go into law school with an open mind and if some other area of law strikes me as particularly interesting I will consider it.
With that being said, I am currently studying for the LSAT. Or more accurately, I guess I should say I will begin studying for the LSAT. My wife has been gracious enough to give me one month of being a bum, and I don't really have to do anything other than help out with the kids and be a stay at home dad for a while.
I do plan on playing poker and blackjack to supplement the income, but that's not really needed. More of just another small little cushion. Although with that being said, I've been on a huge downswing to start off 2013, so that's not looking so good, but I'm sure it will turn around.
Part of the downswing occurred last Friday, where I went on mega-tilt and blew through a 20/40 bankroll in the span of 20 hours. Given that I plan on playing for actual money now, I will have to make some adjustments to my mindset and playing style, but they are probably for the better anyways.
So that's it for now. I plan on being back in the workforce sometime in 2016 or 2017, just in time for my eldest daughter to be nearing high school, so I will have enough time to make up for my unemployed status.
I do have a Las Vegas trip planned for my birthday this year, so I am looking forward to that as well. We'll see if I can get back some of the money that Aria owes. Hope I run well.
