I’m leaving tomorrow for California. I plan on meeting up with my mother and brother, both of whom I haven’t seen since the last time I was on the west coast, something like three years ago. We’re going to drive from the Los Angeles area to Las Vegas and spend a few days there, visiting my aunt and uncle who live there. Their kids are meeting us in Vegas for Thanksgiving, too. It should be just like the old days but instead of driving to Long Island and listening to Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant in the car, I’ll be doing school work on the plane.
My new computer is almost ready to be built. I have all the parts except for the CPU, memory, DVD+RW/-RW, and DVD-ROM. I had these parts delivered to a co-worker’s house in order to avoid sales tax. FedEx attempted delivery on Friday, and then again following that, but he wasn’t there to sign for the shipment. I was hoping to be able to put everything together tonight, but now it’ll have to wait until I return from vacation next week.
I’ll keep my readers updated on my casino winnings. Anyone have any tips?
I like Lewis Black’s suggestion. Go to the casino, and get $100 in quarters. Then go directly to your room, and spread those quarters out on your bed – really get a good look at them, because it’s the last time you’re going to see them all. Then collect up all the quarters and take them into the bathroom, and flush them down the toilet one-by-one. And the nice thing about that is that every so often the toilet will back up and YOU’LL FEEL LIKE A *WINNER*!!!
have fun traveling. i feel like i haven’t seen you in a long time. we’ll have to change that… 🙂
