I was dreading the weekend as three days of rain was predicted. It is now 12:18 on Monday and it hasn't rained yet. But, it is supposed to rain and snow today! What it is, is damn chilly.
Finished The uncommon appeal of clouds, by Alexander McCall Smith. It is one of my least favorite of his series, the one called the Isabel Dalhousie series. Isabel is an Edinburgh philosopher and amateur sleuth. She married a younger man and has a son. She helps people with "mysteries" but does not get paid. This one is about the theft of an art work by Poussin (he wasn't the thief, the thief was unknown).. It is a "contemporary cozy" verging on the boring. Isabel can be a bit of a prig.
Had a fun day at the Atlantic City casinos yesterday. I am not a gambler, but I COULD be! If I gambled in order to win, I would spend 15 minutes and walk away when my money went up. It is hard to fill many hours there without losing. In the end, I was ahead $15, which paid for my lunch. I only play the penny and nickle machines. I used to take $20 and was ready to go home after 15 minutes. Yesterday, I gambled with $65 and made it last quite a long time. The show was so so.....guys (Andre & Cirell) who did imitations and sang songs of other more famous people. Their interactions with the audience were stale and lame. We went to Resorts, which was the first casino to open in Atlantic City. It was opened by Merv Griffin back in the 70's. It seemed not very crowded down there or in Resorts. And all the people that WERE there were in the line for promotions, thus depriving me of getting a "Get the star treatment" card. OK, the other reason I didn't get the card was because you needed a photo ID and I had downsized my purse to the point where I didn't have any ID.
