Mike Farwell

Whew! After more clicks of the mouse than I’d care to admit, I’m finally here. And yes, many of those clicks were caused by pressure from the boss who now has a new daily routine that goes something like, “Farwell, have you blogged yet?”

You must have heard recently about the 18-year old poker prodigy from Waterloo. Mike McDonald scored a cool 1.4-million dollars (US) playing in a tournament in Germany last weekend. We interviewed Mike for a story we did on 570 News and, in order to get in touch with him, we had to go through his “people.” So not only is this recently minted grad of Waterloo’s WCI a millionaire, he also needs “people” to now help him cope with his newfound fame. It occurs to me that if I had “people” I could have had this post, well, posted…some time ago.

I’m here, and that’s what counts. I promise you’ll be hearing more from me soon. And here’s to hoping the boss is reading this.
