Tonight I embodied two deadly sins

Gluttony and Greed. We met Lucky Uncle for a margarita bash at the casino that he got us into. To quote Rajesh, 'they had shrimp the size of a baby's arm And I ate a lot of them. they had a full taco bar as well, shrimp/tequila shooters, a fajita bar and came around with appetizers, humungous jalapeno poppers, tuna in wonton cups, 'Mexican bannanna splits' with the split styled ice cream and a deep fried half bananna in a cinnamon sugared flour tortilla. And margaritas for a quarter. I lost track of how many of those I had. We came back for food several times during the night, ate so much i thought I might burs Also got to watch some of the sulkie races. One of the horse was a very dark bay and had a beautiful carriage. And I played all night on my initial 20$ and came home with 60$ so whee. I'm a winner. Add that too the all the shrimp I ate and the booze I sucked down, the casino lost out on me tonight.
