Here at the F&O Chronicle we are as excited as most recreational players about the 50th anniversary 2019 WSOP. We have friends that will be dabbling in the lower limit events (nope, we do not travel in the nosebleed circles) and F&O will be hitting cash games like mad. Rail-birding celebs and the other cast…
Suck it Starbucks, and off to Capri we go.
Flynn and Ollie decided they may as well make the trip to Capri, since, you know, they are already on the Amalfi coast. At the ungodly hour of 8 am, they stumble onto the Sita bus outside the nest. Turns out, the bus was full of high-school students, who were more than a little amused…
Whew, no one blew up!
The past two days have been a whirlwind. So much so that F & O are having difficulty keeping track of what day it is, how long we have been here, and what we did the day before. Ollie says this is what vacations are supposed to be, Flynn says it’s because there has been…
F & O love M&M (s) !
The next installment of the F & O Italy vacation is a jaunt to Minori and Maoiri. Flynn had scoured the i-net for lunch in Minori, and Ollie had dutifully checked the bus schedule. It was pouring as they waited for the bus outside the casa, so naturally F & O snickered at all the…
Italy Part II: donkeys & poker
(Roman numerals, get it? Flynn cracks himself up) Okay, fine. How’s this for start of one’s day in Atrani? A donkey delivered to the doorstep. Kinda like Amazon Prime, but for livestock. Not more than 50 feet from the front door on the front patio, just left there for F & O to ponder upon.…
Flynn and Ollie are in Italy!
Flynn and Ollie arrived! Safe and sound, not really any sleep, but certainly a relaxing atmosphere on da plane. The flight into CDG was unremarkable, F & O both made it through border patrol in France without raising any alarms. Business class seats on Air France were pretty bad, but the food made up for…
And, We Are (Almost) Off!
Since we have 3 hours to kill at SeaTac, F & O figured they should go ahead and get a jump on the travel blog portion. This is harder than it seems, since Flynn is drunk . FYI, we are headed to the Amalfi Coast. Then Paris. We know, don’t say it. F & O…
The Dilemma of Travel
How does the jet-set of poker do it? F & O have been planning a trip to Italy (and Paris) for months. Duration of trips: 2 weeks. The thought process about packing and preparation is nutso. Flynn has been stashing an array of clothing items, making list after list after list, and otherwise obsessing over…
Busting dweebs at poker
Flynn experiences full-blown glee when certain types of poker players crash and burn at the table. Flynn also feels a little guilty for this glee, as he normally does not revel in the bad fortune of others. Ollie, on the other-hand, takes less obvious glee, but does not feel the least bit guilty about it.…
And They’re Off! Derby Day & Drunks Who Play Poker
On an almost-whim, F & O took off for Emerald Downs on KY Derby day. While they had been there several times before, going for such a momentous occasion (in the horse-world at least) was a new adventure. Here in the NW it was a stunningly beautiful day, with sun and temps hovering at 70.…
