Seattle -- Just like I remembered it

So I'm at the airport now, waiting to leave. The trip, although short, was awesome. This area was just like I remembered it -- driving places in the rain, the friendliness of people, really lush trees. I love driving around and seeing Interstate 5 signs for Portland. My old area.

I'm not from here so I don't know why I'm impartial to it. It just seems like a very natural way of life.

Last night, after bouncing out of the WSOP qualifier, I went and played at the Muckleshoot -- $4/8 while waiting for a $10/20 game, which didn't happen. I drove around and picked up a casino chip at a poker room in Des Moines, Wash., and another couple near the airport on Highway 99. Then made my way back to my hotel room, played a little $10/20 at WP and Full Tilt and then went to sleep.

Today I had an hour before having to go to the airport, so I hunted down three more casinos. I had so many chips in my bag (each casino I picked up four chips, one for myself, Sham, Drew and my uncle) that it was blocking out the x-ray machine!

I hope to be back soon. Next time I'll have to play at the Tulalip Casino. And more Muckleshoot.
