Funny thing about Flynn & Ollie’s upcoming trip to Las Vegas this week ~ we are not so much excited about the poker prospects as we are about getting some R & R and sunshine. Please, LV, do not let us down. The PNW is soaking wet and gray. Without a doubt we will hit…
Key West, FL & LV Travel: Just Slightly Obsessive
For the two followers who read the previous post, F&O have survived the pressure of making spring a travel decision without having a breakdown. They spent hours scouring the internet, pouring over wide open options related to locations, flight schedules, hotels, cars, and all the bells and whistles that go along with them. The basics…
Tough Travel Decisions
Flynn & Ollie have found themselves with some time off in March 2020. The original thought was to take the 5th wheel to Las Vegas and follow the usual agenda of poker, hiking, and lounging around. It’s hard to go wrong with that plan, especially in March when the weather in the PNW is the…
Rambling Thoughts: Being a Frequent Visitor in Las Vegas
A coworker recently asked us here at the Chronicle where we had been on vacation. When we told them we had spent 10 days in Las Vegas, the usual response was forthcoming: “10 days?! I could never do that!” This comment begs the question: why do we feel the need to justify our choice of…

Beach & Mountains
Since returning from the Great Vacation in mid June, Flynn & Ollie have managed to get around Western WA on a few different occasions. First off was a day trip to Ocean Shores, notorious for a nice, big sandy beach (not so common in WA). It is filled with the usual ‘beach tourist’ activities including…
More of LasVegas June 2019
Yes, the writers have been a little behind. The short story about Paris was very time consuming, so the second half of Flynn and Ollie’s Poker escapades fell to the bottom of the list. Here goes: Flynn & Ollie played a bunch of poker. There was cash game poker (1/3 NL), tournament poker, and drunk…
Paris: A Grimmesque F & O Fairytale
