from costa rica

in the words of gomer pyle, ¨surprise...surprise¨...

i decided that the beach would be more fun than working so i flew to costa rica last night...lets just say mrs rider was a tad bit surprised when i showed up at the door...little rider and baby rider were pretty excited to wake up with me in their bed...

today i went downtown to watch the first day of a UGE poker tournament...the latin american poker tournament was in town...it was pretty cool...a 2,700 buy in prevented the bookman from making an appearance...daniel negreanu was there along with other ¨tv pros¨...about 400 people played so the winner will take home about 250,000...nice 3 days of work...anyway...saturday we go to the beach...i am ready...

later from costa rica...pura vida
