Derby Week Continues!
I held my annual Charity Derby Poker Championship last night, and it was off the hook! So many great guests – from celebrities, to poker players, to entrepreneurs.
I’m a fan of this woman! Jane Seymour…Hearts.
Ladies dressed for the “Oaks Day” races in our group – Jennifer Tilly, Angela Arieh, Kristi Courtois, and Cate Williamson.

Derby Week 2013
It’s officially Kentucky Derby week, and I’m ready to spend some of my hard-earned $$$. For me, Derby week means a limo 24/7, black tie, charity events, Millionaires Row, VIP lists and police escorts. Nice life!
On Wednesday I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with world-class horse trainer Bob Baffert and his wife at the “Trackside” event at Churchill Downs.

More from Venice
Venice was surreal this weekend! First off, it was completely under water. Wife and I were walking around with our shoes off (every shop is flooded) and apparently this happens every 15 years. But check out these beautiful pics I took on Easter Sunday. I’ve NEVER seen a sky like this. Look at the colors!
