Yesterday I started out in Sun City, CA, then went to Murrieta, then to Menifee, then to San Diego. I made money every where I went, except in Menifee, where I was playing golf with friends. Some friends... After San Diego, on my way home up the I-15, I stopped at the Pechanga Indian Gaming Casino in Temecula. (So close... If they were the Pachanga Indians, the Hispanics would have adopted them, what with 'pachanga' being a slang word for 'party' or 'wild erotic celebration.' Okay, maybe it's just 'party.')
My wife, who loves a good Pechanga pachanga, was stunned to learn that all I did at the casino was mope around the poker room waiting to hear some one say, "I'm all in." I have this gut level need to hear this said without mocking girlish laughter following the announcement.
It was a big poker room (poker room... hee hee!) and I wondered what the odds were in terms of me seeing someone I knew. Turned out a bookie could have given odds of 1/infinity and made money. Men outnumbered women in about the same ratio as sperm to eggs. What does that tell you about gambling?

Gambling is fun, especially when it's part of a Pachanga.
Never been to an Indian Casino, -are there lots of Hispanics?
By the way Bert, I shot 37 on the front nine at Green Tree. It was whities v tanned guys (pretty good for pol' correctness huh?) and us whities kicked butt. $3.25 ea!
Only nine holes? Darn, I could have played. I didn't play with the Asians today, but had to go to a wedding, leaving here at 7:00 p.m. I figured you guys would be playing 18, so I didn't even bother to call...
It's nice to hear that Parker must have been happy.
Parker no longer plays on up here (remember that thing w/ the barber shop?)... It was me, George, Burz, Harry and Zach.
"Men outnumbered women in about the same ratio as sperm to eggs. What does that tell you about gambling?" => that means that there are more men gamblers than women, but women are hanging around the casinos to spend their man's winnings!!! :) :) :) or so i've heard!!! :) :) :)
Ingrid, say it isn't so!! You're saying that men earn money and their women spend it? Where's the sense in that?
I don't like casinos. If I want to see a bunch of sad, broken, joyless people drinking heavily and ending up broke, I'll go to family reunions.
