Lucky, or What?

A few times a year I spend a couple of days with Mary and Faye at the casino and it's always fun but often expensive for me.  I accept that I'm mostly a loser but it's entertainment and I don't smoke and rarely drink...that's my excuse for gambling.

Well, Thursday was day 1 and it didn't go all that well as I gradually lost most of the money I'd brought.  This is such a bad sign because we had 1 1/2 days to go.  I sat at an unfamiliar slot machine with unfamiliar buttons and apparently tapped the wrong ones.  The good news is that I immediately got a bonus that just kept on giving but I couldn't understand why it was giving so much money until I looked at what I bet...it wasn't the usual 50 cents but a whopping $3.40!  I would have been pretty mad if I hadn't gotten the bonus right away but this was one lucky coincidence!  I ended up winning all my lost money back plus more!

Of course, I didn't stop gambling.  Over the next 1 1/2 days I managed to lose most of my money once again.  But we had fun!
