Home Again, Jiggity Jig

While not the payday Elizabeth scored on her trip to the KC slots, it was more than I walked in with, so it was a good spin. Dani scored more than I, but then, she's charmed.

Kmae was too right about the smoke in the casinos. We did have serious issue with the huffy puffingness of the players. The only place in our hotel's casino where smoking was prohibited was the poker room-which was really just an area. That area seemed particularly stern-we walked by, briskly.

Mostly, we walked through the casinos, I think we visited 5 or 6, throwing a buck or two into a random slot-eschewing those with too many buttons, too many options. Dani hit 4 out of 5 times. I think her highest take was $3.00 on a $0.25 bet. We didn't rest on those laurels because, of, well, the smoke and because we were there to shop and see the fights (more later on that), after all.

There is more, but I hear the slumber sirens wailing their tunes. For now, know that we had a blast and as great as it was...it's good to be home. We missed Mike like craazzy.

Glenda knew her stuff, there is no place like home.
