So we opened the revue last night, and it was one of those rare times when everything clicked right off the bat -- when there had been some risk that certain things just wouldn't. We had an all too short rehearsal period, some of which had been lost due to weather, and then people got sick, and one or two were learning the thing slower than we would have liked. With great effort it literally came together within the last three days. Our preview senior audience on Thursday was small and unresponsive even though they said afterwards that they loved it and they want us to come out for a command performance at their community center. But that evening was an effort, and it was excellent training for last night when we were rewarded with a very enthusiastic house. We're sold out tonight, and we thankfully have the next few days off (my first few days off in weeks), so I'm feeling pretty okay about it right now. It's been an uphill climb, but we have a show. Whew.

Congratulations to all.

Keith likes to play Black Jack.  I have never played at a casino & have no interest in doing so.

I like going to the race track. Used to skip classes at college for an afternoon at Keeneland. But I never bet much. Never interested in it. $2 here or there.

As for gambling movies, I would add Robert Altman’s California Split. One of the few of his I don’t own.

On Thursday I lost Vixdad’s hat while putting our stuff in a locker before the Hagrid motorcycle ride ( I must have dropped it while I was putting everything else in)

There was the time Keith & I played a slot machine and won a fairly good amount.  It was very exciting while the coins came tumbling out & the machine made lots of noise.  At that moment I understood why people get addicted to the slot machines.  Fortunately I remembered how I felt putting way too much money into the machine before we won.

After the ride once we realized it was gone we went to all the surrounding attractions and shoppes to see if it had been turned in
