“Bond didn't defend the practice. He simply maintained that the more effort and ingenuity you put into gambling, the more you took out.” ~ Ian Fleming,

Bruce and I just returned from a few day stay at The Golden Nugget in Atlantic City.  I am not a gambler, and don't really know much about casinos - but I do know this - Bruce loves them, and he shares when he wins. He and his golf buddies have gone on several golf/gambling trips over the years - he always comes back happy, win or lose.  He is also a very sensible guy.

He has recently been comped a couple of free nights at the casino, and so we went down for a relaxing stay. It really was relaxing.  We danced; slept late; ate wonderful meals; read by the pool (under the shade); and in general left the day-to-day responsibilities at home.  It was lovely - and I thank him for taking me as opposed to a golfing gambler!  It was a nice reconnection after having been back from Florida for several months.
