Long Time, No Write...Or Win

It's been 10 days since I posted anything, so it's time to catch up a bit.

The two main reasons for not posting is the March Madness has kept me busy. I've been researching and betting games every day and I've lost more than I've won. Today I won with Michigan, but lost with Michigan State.

And my poker & blackjack luck has apparently run out. Looking over my records, I have not had a winning session since March 12 and I've played at least one session every day. That's a solid week of not winning! It wears you down mentally to lose every time you sit down at a table, but I'll be back at the poker table soon.

One highlight of the past week was on Wednesday night when we saw Rod Stewart in concert at Caesars Palace. He's 72 and still a bundle of energy for the 90-minute show. Access for Helen is the best at CP and we look forward to seeing more shows there in coming years.

We're rooting for Michigan in the NCAA tourney. My friend Terry asked me to get him a $30 ticket on the Wolverines before the tourney began and the odds were 60-1. So if they win it all, he collects $1,800. The next day I decided I should go along with him and by the time I bought my $10 ticket the odds had dropped to 40-1. Go Blue!

We're starting to prepare to head home in about 3 weeks. I need to get the oil changed in the car, rent the storage unit and line up the movers. It's a whole process shutting down our LV home and getting back to TC. We miss our friends there and it'll be good to get back into our TC routine.

But for now, our LV adventure continues...
