21k feet and 80 miles out...

I'm stil in the qualifier, 35 left and I'm 12th in chips. Crap! What happens when we land, do I lose my connection?

35,888 feet and 508mph - Technology, wow!

Here on Virgin America flying from Washington Dulles direct to San Fran, just amazed at technology today. I look over to my left and the guy in the Seat next to me is watching a live baseball game, the guy next to me is watching a movie on his ipod and here I am writing this blog and playing in the Tues Main event Qualifier. I won a sat just after we took off. Played a $50 buy-in with 28 people in it, I was down to 400 very very early and ended up coming back and won a seat. 127 in this one and were down to 85, I'm in 43rd. This has to be the most roller coaster tourney I have ever been in. 60 hands in and I've been seeing too many hands, need to simmer down. Crap, in a hand and have AQ, flop a Q and A on the turn, I push... Writing while I play, the push took it down. Now in 32nd. That was a good hand.

Another tech wow was walking to the bathroom and waiting in line. I look over and see someone on FB and also chatting live via a web cam with her girlfriend. Look back again and the girl on the cam sat up and flashed her friend. Very attractive girl on the computer, but the girl who got flashed was better looking!! Must be a San Fran thing....
