Now that is something that is cool to me. I love to build neighbourhoods, but no one has used any of my ideas, to large lots and to much park area.

One day, I will build my own neighbourhood, one day.

Trying to find time and space to build while still making my goal of playing in the World Series of Poker. Had a chance to create time if I had won a recent main event I had qualified for. A computer failure took me out of the running for the $500,000.00 first prize. It was a borrowed laptop while I was on vacation in Hawaii taking my ukulele building school.

I love the Ohana (Hawaiian for family) that OLF provides where we all work together with friendly help and advice.
