Back Home and Back to Work

I made it back from Costa Rica after a very satisfactory trip. DoylesRoom is progressing nicely and all our milestones have been met. Our biggest problem is getting critical mass late in the day because all the Europeans go to bed and we don't have as many players as we would like. But, on the other hand, until 2:00 Pacific the games are plentiful and are very soft with lots of action. I'm really impressed. We have big plans for 2008.

I got to finally go deep sea fishing on the west coast of Costa Rica. I had been told this was the best fishing in the world and now I believe it. About an hour out of port we caught three beautiful Marlin. They weren't record size but they were by far the biggest things I have ever caught. The weather was perfect and I didn't get the least bit seasick. I can't wait to get back and take a longer fishing trip.

It looks like the next High Stakes Entertainment Golf Tournament will be somewhere in the Bahamas. Dewey Tomko and I will pick the players we want to invite to play. Probably there will be a few of the same players who played in the first ESPN televised tournament. Phil Ivey, who won the first two man best ball, is going to play if his schedule permits. Phil is such an action guy he will be a lot of fun to be in the Islands with. ESPN got rave reviews from the first HSE Tournament and they want a long term contract. I hope so because these things are a lot of fun. I just hope my leg holds up so I can continue to play.

I just finished watching the San Diego/Indianapolis playoff game and it was one of the best games I ever watched (and I have watched plenty!). San Diego won by four points and gets the dubious honor of going to play New England on their home field. I think the Patriots are the best football team of all time. The Giants and Cowboys are all tied up 7-7 but Dallas looks too strong for the Giants. I hope I am wrong because I bet on New York plus seven points! -DB
