Well, I'm back from the three days of debauchery. I rolled in a little while ago, after a 2.5 hour drive from Mt. Pleasant and the Soaring Eagle Casino, where I lost $50 and got to bed at 11:30, which is about two hours past my bedtime. It's better than my brother, who dropped $300 before 8:00 and came back to the room at 3:00 a.m. He wasn't awake when I left, so I have no idea if he made his money back. I'll hear shortly.
I'm now recuperating. Marie and the 7 left for a neighboring town before I got back to see her brother, who is vacationing there. I'm just straightening the house a bit (we had 13 kids here from Thursday to Saturday), reading, and recovering from a measure of abuse and neglect that my body hasn't seen in over ten years. I hope to post a little more this evening.
