Nov. 23rd, 2007 11:42 am-The casinos at Atlantic City are open even on Thanksgiving. I would never have guessed...
-Apparently, it is worth it for my brother and his girlfriend to drive 1 1/2 hours for my parents' house to Atlantic City, gamble for an hour, and then drive 1 1/2 hours back. I didn't get home until 4 am.
-Apparently, it's also worth the trouble for them to drag non-gambling me along to Atlantic City to try to make me gamble. It's not that have a problem taking risks; it's more that my short attention span can't wrap itself around most gambling games. My brother dragged me to a craps table. He started explaining how craps is played, and about three sentences in my eyes glazed over. Sensing this, he gave me $10 to put on one of the spaces marked out on the table. He threw the dice, something happened but I'm not sure what, and I gained $10. He explained it to me but the best I could muster up in response was a shrug and a stupid look.
-Just 33 shopping days left until Christmas! Better get cracking.
