We’re going to the coast for a couple of days. Manuel Antonio to be exact. We might not have internet for a few days, so don’t think we’ve been kidnapped or eaten by a rabid band of spider monkeys until at least next Wednesday or something.

We’ve been learning a lot about ex patriots and banking in Panama. It will all be very useful in the future. Unfortunately, there is a 99.9% chance that we will be in Vegas for this baseball season. It makes sense that now more than ever the online sportsbooks are unsafe. What was possibly keeping the better ones honest and profitable was the influx of American cash. Without that, once reputable books could change positions quickly. It’s a fact that I hadn’t fully considered and sadly, it rings true. It’s something we would rather see play out from a distance for at least this season.

How much do you think a condo at the Hard Rock would cost for six months? It really would be worth the irritation of Vegas if we could be Billy Idol’s neighbor.
