Ladner Is Out ⇒

March 20th, 2005 by

Christine and I have been looking around for a new place to live for a few months now. One of problems we are having is figuring out where we actually want to live. We have some friends who live in south Surrey, some who live in Coquitlam and PoCo and I have some co-workers who live in Tsawassen, all of which really enjoy where they live. As I work in Richmond, living in the east doesn't make much sense so it must be south.

So I got invited to only my second Texas Hold'em poker tournament yesterday. It was put on by a friend of Dave P's out in Coquitlam. Turns out that Ian hadn't ever organized a tournament before and most of the people there had never been in one so it took about an hour to work out all the details. 32 of us each put in $50 and split into 3 tables.
