OK, here goes:



1) I've lived in only two states my entire life - New York and Georgia. I spent three weeks in New Jersey, but I'd rather not count that. I think most people who live in Jersey would want to do the same.



2) I have stared down an elk. Gotta love the Rocky Mountains in July, where you can see snow. Estes Park was very nice - and it gets really, really cold at 11,000 feet.



3) I did not start playing poker until 2002. I did not play in college, I did not play in high school. I did not play live for the first time until 2006, in a casino or a home game. My first trip was to New Orleans, which went pretty well. My Vegas play consists of about 20 minutes at Mandalay Bay and a weekly tourney at the Rio. Neither went well.



4) I've visited almost every state in the country, but only been out of the country once, just a few hours in Tijuana while in San Diego.



5) I changed my major eight times in college. I had to take 23 hours or some insane amount my last semester to finish out because I didn't want to get screwed with another semester of gigantic fucking loans. But, I finished a double-major in four years, despite all the switching.



6) I had my first drink and smoke at 15. I quit smoking cigarettes right before I got married but still smoke the occasional cigar. Even the crappy ones.



7) I still have the New York mentality in many ways. I hate stupid people, I want everyone in front of me or around me to hurry up or get out of the way, and I'd rather just take the subway if I could to go somewhere. I'm sure there are a lot of other ways - we'll see when we go next year.
