A Little Perspective
Since this is a poker blog and not a personal one, I'll keep the personal notes to a minimum. On Monday night my wife's uncle passed away and went to the Kingdom of God. He went without pain and surrounded with his family around him. Although I only knew him for the last 4 years, I became close and am morning his loss.
Obviously, this puts my hobbies (like poker) into perspective. It's fun, it's profitable (fortunately), but that's all it is, and I definitely have kept an even keel about that.
Anyways, going to take off a few days more (haven't done anything last few days anyways). But I think when my wife goes on vacation with her sisters for a week I'll have plenty of time to have poker-fun. See you then.

About Me
My name is Sean Gibson and I am a poker journalist and part time poker player. I work full time at PokerNewsDaily.com where I host a daily news show called "The Daily Deal" and also handle the bulk of the live player interviews. In terms of poker you will find me playing $1/$3 No Limit Hold'em in Vegas or in Los Angeles (or San Diego) and online playing small stakes games.
Sorry to hear about your family’s loss. I agree when you say it puts poker into perspective. I used to think poker was the be all and end all but recently I’ve been involved in a legal battle to see my kid and that makes everything else take a back seat.
