This year has been so swingy.   I was +40k 15 days in, then only +15k, then +30k. then a huge downer where I found myself only up about 5k on the year :(  I've decided that I need to hit the reset button in a sense and start over.  I've decided to start grinding $110s and plan on staying there until I win 40 buyins.  This could take a few weeks, I really don't know.  I haven't grinded these games steadily in a long time.  So far it's been fun though knowing I'm clearly making money every time I'm playing and never feeling that 'i got owned' feeling when playing a tough higher stake player. 

Not much else to update on.  I've been feeling the itch to do something exciting with my life and that might be experiencing life in a new city.  I've given a lot of thought to moving out west to San Diego, but alas there's too much standing in the way.  I have a big real estate investment here with my current home and selling it now would be suicide financially.  Also I've got close ties here with all my family, my friends, and girlfriend.  I guess at this point I'll have to put it on hold but hopefully things will open up to make it a possibility.

Besides poker, it's been the usual running/lifting/soccer/partying and wouldn't have it any other way.  GL at the tables
