snow

It was winter at Tahoe...Harvey's was the casino....Pulled in and dropped off the wife. I left the car at the door and went to check in. Got the keys and went to the car ... Valet is full, drive to the end of the parking lot by the lake. Pull our two rollarounds up. Start the long treck in the falling snow.

Got to the room... keys don't work... back to the checkin, apologies. Went to the room, try the keys.. open but the chain is on the door. Knock, knock, (from inside,) the ex says who's there? I said its me with the luggage. ...She says I don't want to see you!!!...what the f?....

After a little banter and a pause (me still in the hall) she says I lost my gambling stake (already?). OK

Now how about opening the door. ....Door opens... I get to put the suitcases inside.

I give her 1/2 my stake and off we go.

You see this is one of many episodes...tune in tomorrow for the continuing story in the frozen city.

This was many years ago. The trip turned out good. I won a large sum at blackjack at Harvey's and Harrah's. She made a little.

We had 19 consecutive trips in those days over two years to Tahoe with positive returns. Then we moved back to Texas.

Those were the "good old days" with single deck blackjack.

-End-

Thanks, John for that report and I'm looking forward to reading more of you and your wife's adventures.
