What a guy like me doing here?

I have no idea where this blog is going to take me and you.  I'll just let you know what finally got me here.
 I wanted to make a comment on my niece's blog and I was forced to create some sort of profile before I was allowed to do that.  I've been dickering around with this page since last night when I made my comment on my niece's blog.
I've been thinking about starting a blog anyway from time to time and now seems like it's as good a time as any.  When I first started thinking about writing and knowing other people would be viewing it, my thoughts were to write a blog strictly about poker. (Thus the name, "Aces Full") Ever since I first started playing regularly in the 80's all types of people I come into contact with have been very intrigued by how I was making a living.  Many people, (especially back then) simply didn't believe you could make a living "gambling".  They thought I was selling drugs or something. I would go through my spiel about how playing poker isn't like other forms of casino gambling and I'd try to explain to them that if a person has been blessed with the right gifts and talents, a comfortable living could be made.  It seemed that people always wanted to know and hear more about it.
For a couple of reasons, I've changed my mind about limiting this blog to poker.
The first reason is that I simply haven't been playing enough poker to keep people entertained with a blog.  I would however like to keep that a focal point of the blog.  I'll stray from that topic on a regular basis, but my plan as of right now is to always come back to it, as long as there's something to write about that people might find interesting.
The second reason is that to limit myself to writing about poker would minimize all the other things in my life that are really important to me, like.... my family, my work or artwork/sculptures, my motorcycle riding adventures including an annual trip to Sturgis for the bike rally, my trips to Native American pow-wow's, Sundance's, and other ceremonies, my love for music, (I used to be an avid guitar player, but haven't picked it up in awhile and I find myself wanting to get back into that a little), talking about all of the interesting people I meet and have met both in the poker world as well as people we've come into contact with through our business:  Lakota Creations
My plan right now is to try and write something a couple of times a week.
That may change, depending on how busy we are, or if we're traveling, or if I'm on a trip playing poker or buying raw material for me to do sculpture work on, etc...
The next time I write, I'll be talking about my 5 or 6 year hiatus from the poker world and why I left it in the first place....and how & why I got back into it.
I hope you'll come along for the ride!
