What an incredible day at the annual @jaxbaryls Chili Cook Off! 🍲
We had a record turnout of teams and attendees, and we can't thank everybody enough for coming to this award-winning annual fundraiser! Some of these chili's this year were absolutely NEXT-LEVEL! 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️

Over the weekend, the JBA lost someone near and dear to our association more than a half a century:
Past JBA President and Past @FLBarPresident James C. Rinaman Jr. passed away. 😢
He was 88 years old.

Thanks to @JaxBarYLS for inviting me to another excellent charity poker tournament!
No, I didn't win any money. But, we raised funds for a great cause. I only went home with my dignity😆
Made it to third place in the @JaxBarYLS poker tournament, of course winning the $100 to Cantina Louie.
I'm destined to always end up in third and/or win the Mexican food prize in any competition.
JK! We'll be slightly more humble! Slightly ... 😎
But we ARE ready to shuffle up and deal Wednesday night at the Best Bet card room in Jacksonville for the @jaxbaryls' Annual Charity Poker Tournament benefitting Community Hospice Palliative Care!
