Got to Harrah's a bit before 1:00 and met up with high school classmate, Jeanne P. We went to a bar/restaurant in the casino and I was introduced to John B., her--well, her boyfriend. He's a nice guy--good-looking,too--and he sat with us for a few minutes, then went off to break the bank.
Jeanne introduced me to a mojito made with vodka instead of rum, which I liked a lot. We had sandwiches and I a Blue Moon, while we talked and talked and talked.
Jeanne has four daughters and several granddaughters, born within just a few years, and has been divorced for some time. She was a real beauty in earlier days, a Miss Atlantic City contestant, and pursued by all the boys. She retains an attractive, if more mature look and a warm, vivacious nature. After a hiatus of more than a half century, we met up again on Facebook and keep in occasional touch.
We talked more in their room. I was surprised at the small size and uninspired decor, but I think it was "comp" room. (I should quit comparing every hotel with the Fairmont Singapore, I guess.)
More talk and lots of laughs, then Jeanne accompanied me to the parking garage. That's where the fun ended, as I could not find my car. I was sure it was on the second level and purple--they use colors for identification, but not very effectively--and I wandered around looking for a good twenty minutes. Finally asked a person I saw coming out of an employee door and she went back with me to search. No luck, she called Security and after a long wait, they came, and told me the purple level is actually on floor one. He took me in his jeep, we drove around and found it, and I got home with no more problem.

So she retains an attractive yet mature look. Bet that walker really sets the guys off in hot pursuit from their wheelchairs!

Oh La La

No walker! And she told me she and her boyfri... oh, never mind, I don't want to shock your young mind.

Thursday

Well, it started off nicely, but things got murky later. R.E. agent Kim emailed me the Certificate of  Occupancy, which means the house pass...
