finally...

the tag boards are working! of course that happens when i've totally forgotten the snide remarks i had dancing inside my head...

went to Blackhawk last night. i had some buffet passes to the Isle Of Capri casino. good thing because the buffet was certainly not worth $14.99 each...more like $9.99 or $10.99. still, food usually tastes better if you don't have to pay for it, right?

my $20 lasted about 90 minutes on the nickel slots and we headed home. it was not a lucky night for me...nor is it ever when it comes to gambling. i don't think i've ever won more than $30-40 at the slots. and the most i ever won playing poker in college was about $85. gambling is purely casual for me. i pity the people with gambling problems; they're always one win away from the big one. and when they do win, they're not content and start digging themselves even a bigger hole...all the while drooling a huge spot on their shirt collar.

lolis was lucky though. i think she came out $25 ahead...that's a lot o'nickels.

btw, like the Lowa thing...typing Lolis was certainly intentional. about four years ago, Calder, a little guy who lives down the street, used to call out to Lois from his front window. it was so cute..."Lowwww-lis!" so now you have Lolis and Pim Pim...
