So H is up quite a bit of money. He sent me an email....

"LOVIE!!!

seriously, i stopped in the XXXCasino to get S, my little rockstar, a t-shirt... I turned my last 50$ into 1000$ then had lunch... took 400$ and turned it into 1500$ !!! I'm up 1100$ and got comped a room (I started drinking the goose while playing at the $50 blackjack tables)

if you wanna come out here, c'mon!!!
my phone died (battery is charging now...)
i've got some fantasy football work to do while I relax, then i'm gonna go play more and try to kick this b!tch open!!!

i'll text you later ;-)

thanks lady..."

So, he won't be home today....but he's happy. He just called me. He said it again "Thanks for being so cool about this." I told him "You just have to tell me. No mad, no complaining...I'd rather you be honest and have a good time and not worry about my feelings being hurt. If you're honest and have fun, they really won't be." He said "I know that now." I think he does realize, the old Stronger from just one year ago would NOT have been cool about this. I haven't even told him or advised when to quit. Just let him play and have as much fun on this "odyssey" as he possibly could.

So, hopefully we can continue the progress.

Thanks guys...couldn't do it without all of you.
