Wednesday was devoted to running some errands and just relaxing.
The morning began with hot coffee and the morning news. At 945 I took Helen to her weekly Bible study group at the Lakes Lutheran church, then returned home to check emails and read some online news web sites. After picking her up at 11:30 and returning to the apt., I made us lunch of turkey and cheese sandwiches.
Then it was off to the grocery store to pick up a few things, which turned into a major shopping trip. Got back to the apt. about 2:30 and just relaxed a while, watching TV, getting the mail and kicking back. Dinner was some hefty salads with organic greens, cucumbers, roma tomatoes, cheddar cheese and kidney beans. In the evening we watched some TV and our niece Katie called.
This morning I headed off to the Strip for some poker. I parked at Bill's Gambling Hall, then walked across to Bally's where I got in a $1-2 no-limit game. I bought in for $100 and played even for about an hour. Then I hit a real dry spell and even though I was patient, my stack dwindled down to about $45. But, as poker sometimes goes, I won a pot with Aces and 10s
and then another with three 7s. Not huge pots, but enough to get me ahead about $25.
Eventually I checked my stack and I was $10 up and decided to walk. I returned to Bill's where the car was parked and since I hadn't had lunch, opted for one of their $2 hotdogs. But first I sat at a blackjack table where I won the first 6 hands before the dealer had to shuffle. A quick count showed I was up $75, so I cashed out and went for that hotdog.
While at Bill's I got a $50 bet on the Colts for Terry and a $20 fb teaser for myself that will pay $140 if it hits - Colts over 38, Pats -1, Saints -1, Packers +8, Chargers -1 and Cardinals -6.
Total profit for the day was a hard-fought $65, pending the outcome of the fb bet.
Got home about 4p.m. and whipped up a tasty dinner of beef nachos with guacamole and sour cream. Now we're just relaxing with the Thursday night comedy shows on NBC - always a chuckle or two there. But tomorrow our adventure continues...
