Tsunamis

Map redrawn - The quake was large enough to displace some of the islands by a few meters.
Pictures - Woman goes after her group as the tsunamis are seen in the distance.
Aerial Photos - Aerial photos of the damage.

Miami
I just got back from Miami. What a great way to spend Christmas. Most people are always looking out for a White Christmas but its the sandy ones I'll take anyday. While the midwest was getting blanketed in snow, I enjoyed 8 days by the pool/beach. 70 perfect degrees. Anyway, I guess I should stop rubbing it in. You can check out my girlfriend's moblog pictures from the trip here.
Poker
Nothing really to report on that front. I did not have any internet access while in Miami (gasp!). Not that I would have played any poker there when I could be outside. They should get some WiFi access by the pool areas. I will be trying Absolute poker this week now that I am settling back into the routine. I am also hitting up some more Casino bonuses. More to come on that. I will also be able to make it back to the weekly home game this weekend.
Happy New Years to all! May the poker gods treat you well in 2005!
