Moving my "party " to LAS Paris Hotel /Casino for a long weekend with gal pal(sorry kids the hotel is sold out, but there are other places available close by). Just look for the great looking red head (female) and "the silver fox" (would be me) at the Pai Gow poker tables. Party peeps are welcome to stop by, hoist a few and nibble on doodles with above mentioned "hosts". We're "buying" the drinks as long as your at the tables with us. I was informed this evening that I am not permitted to consider retiring just yet until previously mentioned gal pal decides to do the same. So , I will be working until said gal pal decides it's time for "us" to retire. So, in a round about but also a direct "closing argument" (you'd understand that one Tom- she is also an attorney), I guess we are now officially "a couple". So does that now make me an official "survivor"? On the other hand, whatever. We are going to have a great time in LAS with each other, and any other peeps that show up. Life does go on.
