playing poker and teaching science: Toto, we’re not in Vegas anymore…

About Me

Location: Honolulu, HI, United States

I'm a middle school science teacher, wrestling coach, poker player, scuba diver, aikido black belt, amateur writer, and student of life. In the past I have tried to give back a little by volunteering at a children's home in Belmopan, Belize, Central America. I also love Frosted Flakes. I took a year-long sabbatical from my science teaching position in order to sail the Caribbean, retired from teaching in Indiana and now teach at a Honolulu middle school.

Toto, we’re not in Vegas anymore…

Back home again in Indiana! I had a wonderful time in Las Vegas. The bloggers are an eclectic mix that I’m sure will always make for a great time and I am definitely making myself available for the next blogger’s gathering.

Friday evening I strolled into the Excalibur and bellied up to a $2/$6 spread table and sat between Maudy, Dr. Pauly, and his brother Derrick. As a matter of fact, the first hand I won was off Dr. Pauly when he jammed the pot with a pocket pair of 9’s against my AQ which turned two pair.

Does anyone else thing Dr. Pauly looks a little like Gilbert Godfree?
