Well, That Was Fast

Ok, so after having three days away from the casino, I was looking forward to going back this morning and making an honest living for a few hours.

Problem was, somebody hit the bad beat jackpot again yesterday afternoon and killed all the action. When I got to work, there was one five-handed 4/8 game going, and one of the players was the floorman doing his best to keep the game from breaking.

So I dealt for one half-hour down and made a whopping $21 before the game broke. I killed a little bit of time chit-chatting with the cocktail waitress, who also had nothing else to do, but I came home an hour after I left. Feast or famine, I tell ya, and well, it looks like famine again for the next couple of weeks months.

But that's ok, I got a big box from Amazon last night before I left for work--my new camera is here, along with that HUGE Digital Photography for Dummies book. Seriously, the book is like 800 pages thick and is heavier than a cinder block. So I've got plenty to keep me busy today.

Also, I'm scheduled to be off on Saturday, and it looks like Lars and I will be attending Lee's Wine Experience down at the Hilton. I've become a big fan of wine tastings over the past year, and this one looks to be the Mother of all Wine Tastings. And the 'premium spirit' area with a bunch of fine rums available looks like the spot where you're likely to find me for most of the day. Of course I'll take the new camera and have a report for you.

That's all for now.
