My Family Gambles Part 4: "Card Games" written by...
I returned to Harrahs from one of my shore excursions on a recent trip to Atlantic City, and learned that while I was playing in the surf on the Brigantine beach , my wife was involved in a not for fun experience at the casino, and at the same time, playing out a fantasy of her own. It happened this way:
Elaine took notice of the short, wiry, brown-skinned, fortyish looking man standing next to...

My Family gambles part 3 - Slots: written by...
I hit the jackpot at an Atlantic city casino, early one morning. In point of fact, I was outside Harrah’s Casino, when a slot machine labeled “moments to remember” paid off for me with a winning combination of BAY VIEW - SAILBOAT- SUNRISE. The noiseless payout came in the form of a few serene moments, rather than the clatter of falling quarters, but the prize had a far longer...
Three Questions
1) Why did Paul Newman make a deal with Mcdonald’s before he died?

This guy thinks he knows me? I figure.
He parks and waits for me to cross. Now I figure...

Devil Dick Continued
I just spent a few days in Wyoming. Wyoming is a really pretty state. It evokes silly words like “glorious” and “breathtaking”. I don’t usually say these words, nor do I want to be heard saying them, but Wyoming made me say them.

Luscious Jackson
In Search of Manny, Luscious Jackson’s 1992 7 track gem of a CD got 3 full plays on yesterday’s 15 hour direct drive from Dirty Jerze to the West Side of Chicago. Every time I stumble back on that record I am once again reminded of one of the grooviest small records ever put together. The last song “Satellite”? Madon’ a mia! you kiddin me? Timeless!
