Hi Jean, happy belated to both of you. Having recently retired myself I sure do understand not stressing yourself out over what I’m sure would be a fun read. I must thank you for all your good advice that has led to many “free” Las Vegas vacations. My husband and I have been following you and visiting LV for over 20 years now. We’ll be out in a few weeks and so I was checking the Boyd promotions and can’t find any mention of Y@H! Have they ditched this promotion? I hope to find you and Brad one day to say hi.

Howard, we travel to out-of-town CZR properties. In Vegas we play only at off-Strip locals casinos.

Hi Jean,
I read that you only visit some local casinos, so how do you maintain your status with Caesars?

I’m working on three books (on wildly different subjects), and it’s going slowly precisely because I refuse to treat them as collective projects that perch like parrots on my shoulder and squawk in my ear, “You have to do some writing today.” If I let that happen, I will resent the task, and writing itself. I suppose it’s different for freelance writers who have to write or starve, but I don’t fall into that category, and neither do you. Why not just view the next book as a fun journey that you’ll do in your spare time, and finish whenever? You’re only going to be around for another 100 years or so, so get out there and have fun.

Whatever your decisions on you blog are surely up to you. All I know is you and Brad’ s knowledge, experience and storied I have enjoyed since your first book, which is when I started to seriously consider gambling conditions and looking for the best VP players club comps for my particular gambling experience.

No need to be uncivil to someone who has given us so much. I thank you. Someday I may be able to meet you to personally thank you, until then, many happy draws.

Hello Jean,
I just wanted to say it was a pleasure to meet you and Brad last Wednesday at the Palms. My husband and I were walking through to see all the updates when I spotted you and Brad playing VP. I told my husband that you always say to stop and say Hi if we see you in the casino so we back tracked and did just that. I am sure you meet many people, we were the ones in the matching Disney shirts from Chicago. I asked you a question about Red Rock Casino. I do understand you not wanting to run all over Vegas, I swear no one in Vegas knows how to merge not like they do in Chicago:). I think meeting you and Brad was the best part of our trip, although the VP did start paying off for us. So thanks for making us feel welcomed and not intruding when we stopped to say HI.

Happy Belated to both of you.
I am glad that you will continue these mini stories in the blog.
I had a 60 year flashback when you said “Discount” Remember when doctors would give a discount to have things like a “two fer” price to have more than one child get their tonsils removed.?? LOL
Thanks for all that you do to inform and entertain us.

I’m sorry to hear of your decision to shelf the book – for my sake. For your sake, congratulation on a very wise decision! When I stopped working full-time, I remembered a message from a book on retirement that I had previously read: in retirement, forget all those “shoulds” that you followed while pursuing your career. Instead, follow a simple rule: if you enjoy it, do it, and if it stresses you quit it! Good advice, I think. I’ll feel sorry for myself in not getting that planned book, but will enjoy your blog entries instead!
