Just wanted to jump on here and say Hi again since I've been MIA and not as active as I usually would be.

For the past month or so I've been really focusing on work, my relationship with my girlfriend and our daughter along with school. It's been busy busy busy, but I'd rather be busy than bored and it's honestly the few things that are keeping me so motivated right now. With that I just moved into my first place by myself with Aili and Delilah. We spent the last weekend moving in, the last few weeks/months looking for a place and finally choosing what we wanted and so on. It's been a lot of thoughts, lots of conversations with family, friends, getting advice, getting my head in the right space and so much more than just the small things. Really focusing on the big picture and what I want in my near future, but further into the future as well. The BIG picture is what I've really been focusing on.

I haven't been buying as many chips, really no chips at all recently, but have been active on PokerChipForum and PokerChipper seeing what's been going on there, helping people find things and so much more. I've also been selling some chips that I just didn't have a use for (racks of random things, random barrels and so forth). It's not that I'm getting out of the hobby, but focusing on I guess making my collection more geared towards what I exactly want it to be. It will be primarily TRKs as many of you know, smaller playable sets and more vintage stuff. The new stuff doesn't really interest me at all, the newer singles sure I'd love to get myself when I'm in casinos, but I'm not going to actively pursue them. The sets that I have I want to make sure they get used so they don't just sit around and collect dust. I've also found myself trading with a few members on PCF and Facebook which I generally haven't done, but it's been fun and exciting to see what others have had.

One thing I'd like to mention and I'm not entirely sure where the information came from, but I am not boycotting the ChipBoard or anyone at all. I've just been busy and haven't had time to go anywhere, do anything or post. I know it only takes a few minutes to post something or do this or that, but when I've got a million things going on I just have to take a step back, focus on what I need to and go from there. I jump on here everyday, read what's going on and see what everyone is posting. It's fun to see people still finding new chips, grabbing new chips and so forth.

Let's keep the hobby going and keep having fun!
