We have lived in this land of Casinos for almost two years. Only yesterday did I finally enter one. It is a fairly new Casino just 7 miles down the road from us. I had invited a friend to lunch and suggested she pick where we would eat. The food in the restaurant was wonderful and very reasonably priced. We were served quickly which gave us time then to gamble (as if the stock market these days isn't enough of a gamble). There you see my first gambling winnings from the 21st Century. That is $1.87 in case you can't tell. That is over and above the $1.00 I started with. (I did win fifty cents at the Virgin River Casino in Mesquite, Nevada in the 20th Century.) Now you can't say you don't know any high rollers:-)
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

CASINO WINNINGS
