Biloxi!

Nancy, mom and I headed on a road trip to Biloxi this week.

We started the trip with a toast to Kathy with Oreos, cookies she always insisted that we get when we went on these trips. We were greeted with dark, scary clouds and a threat of getting hit by a tropical storm.
We were worried about the rain and not getting any beach time, but when the weather cleared up, we walked along the beach and nobody could pay us to get in. The combination of lots of jellyfish, mucky water and the presence of oil was a huge turnoff. Up and down the coast there were crews cleaning up the oil off the beach.
We were able to hit the pool a couple hours a day in between downpours. We were often visited by our friend the frog.We spent the rest of the time going from casino to casino. Our favorite was Hard Rock. They gave us lots of comps and had fun machines. Nancy did the best there, I won a lot at Island View in Gulfport. Mom...is lucky she didn't lose her shirt.

At the Beau Rivarge in Biloxi me and Nancy ran into David Hasseloff. Ok, maybe we stalked him. He is really tall and skinny, but not as good looking in person. He is there for a Gulf benefit that will air later this month.

It was a fun trip and maybe too easy of a trip to Biloxi. I hear the slots calling me.
