Back in the Vegas Routine

We're back from spending a great holiday week in Katy with Anna and her family. After driving 14 hours on Saturday and 10 more on Sunday, we arrived back in our apt. on Sunday afternoon. Monday was spent unpacking, going through a stack of mail, paying some bills and restocking the groceries.

Of course, I did find a few minutes to make a fb bet at the Suncoast Casino, which happens to be right near the grocery store. The ticket is a Super Ticket, which allows you to roll the point spread 10 pts, but doesn't pay a ton. Anyway, my $20 bet includes NC State +17, Northwestern+23, USC-1, Alabama-2 and Texas pick'em. So yesterday both NCST and NW came through. Now if those other big favorites hit, It'll be a $50 winner.

A few errands to run today and 3 more bowl games. May go with Nevada, Rice and Oregon today, but no strong feelings. Best bet would be Nevada against Maryland. Hate to go against WMU vs. Rice, but the Kazoo boys have to go all the way to Houston for what is essentially a home game for the Rice Puddings. Also not a big MAC fan vs other conferences.

More adventure details coming tonight...

Going against the family alma mater, huh? tsk tsk tsk. :-) Actually, you know how much I follow football. And, frankly, my instincts say it was a very good call.

I do love reading all your blogs, Dad! Hope your holidays were great, and thanks for the Christmas and Birthday gifts!
