I am a CAC groupie. According to Marc Lesnik, that is. I have been to many online gaming conferences in my time and so far I have managed to hit all of Lesnik's shows, big or small. Unfortunately CAC Montreal was rather poorly attended, although we all knew this was going to happen due to location and timing.

International News Brief: Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has doubled its profits this year, as its punters suffered a run of unusually bad luck.

I have a new favorite city. Forget Costa Rica. Forget the Swedes. Enough with the French Canadians. I want to marry a Jew. Tel Aviv is the most incredible place I have visited in my entire life. Sure, I might have more friends in Tel Aviv than in all other cities combined, but I still believe Tel Aviv is a very, very special place and absolutely one of a kind. Do me a favor and ignore the media which chooses to portray Israel, as a whole, as a very dangerous place. Please. I beg of you. A trip to Tel Aviv will touch and change your life regardless of your religion, race and social interests. All you need is an open mind, a passion for life, and the ability to speak English or Hebrew. And a love for hummus. LOTS of hummus.

Yes, yes I know. Here we go again. This time I'm really in for a treat...1.5 weeks in Tel Aviv, straight to CAC Montreal, and finally, off to Washington DC for a wedding. This isn't just any wedding, mind you...I am responsible for this marriage and agreed to prepare a nice little speech for the rehearsal dinner. Problem is, by that point, I won't have a voice, liver, thought process or functioning brain, for that matter. The bride called me yesterday and told me the wedding weekend is going to be an "ongoing booze filled party". Fantastic. Just what I wanted to hear. In the meantime, for a taste of what I'm about to go through before this wedding, please enjoy several highlights below.

It appears that the Swedes have invaded my life. I cannot seem to stay away from these amazing people- they are magnetic I tell you!! Several weeks ago we started interviewing for a position here at the GPWA and Online Casino City, and of course, there was one candidate that I particularly enjoyed. After the interview, as somewhat of a warning I suppose, I provided this young man with a link to my articles on Casino City Times. Welcome to your potential future manager, my friend. One day later I received a thank you note in the mail, and much to my delight, he signed off with, "PS-I'm Swedish". Yep. You're hired.
