The past month has been hectic on many levels, so tonight we just wanted to go out, have a good time and relax a little. It is not something we do often enough.

We had our usual leisurely Friday evening dinner, then instead of going home we decided to go to L’Auberge and hang out. We went upstairs to the player’s club and got some drinks then went back down to the floor to play a little.

It is a joy to watch my wife do just about anything, but it is hilarious to watch her play slots. She attracts a crowd wherever she is because she celebrates her own wins and the wins of everyone around her. The part of the casino she is in always looks and sounds like the most exciting place in the joint. They should pay her to play there. Wait, they kind of do…

She won some money tonight and then convinced me to play. I found a machine called “Howling Wolf” or something like that. It howls when you hit the bonus and then pays you for however many wolves you get on the spin. I hit a few times and howled along with the wolves.

When I looked around me we were surrounded by people watching me play. More correctly, we were surrounded by people watching Peggy cheer. I loved every minute of it.

And I will likely play the game again.

As long as she is cheering for me, I can’t lose.
