Thank you …

… to everyone who wrote in to S&G (or contacted me privately) to condole my wife and I on the loss of Rascal. Your good wishes have contributed to the healing process more than you’ll ever know. Also, we’ll be taking some time off this week to travel, so there will be less S&G than usual. I promise to be back at my post Sept. 12, ready and willing to keep you abreast of the latest developments in the gambling demimonde.
