Wake Up the Echos?

Brian and I had the opportunity to go the Notre Dame/Navy game on Saturday. I am anti- Notre Dame, but as a sports fan, I enjoy the experience. It is really easy to get caught up in the tradition. There is so much history everywhere you walk on campus and in the stadium.

It was a perfect day. It was 65 degrees out without a cloud in the sky. There wasn't any traffic and we got out of the parking lot quickly and without incident. The fact that I was excited about a good parking lot exit confirms I am getting old. Notre Dame lost, which capped off the perfect trip.

On the way home we stopped at the casino. I've played a lot of poker in my day but this was my first trip to a casino. I played roulette and lost Brian's money. I won two of my first four or five spins. I should have stopped there but kept playing until I had lost everything I won and Brian's money. I can see how people get addicted and manage to lose more then they planned. It would have been really easy for me to go get more money because 'I was bound to win some time.' Thankfully Brian fared better than I did. He won his initial money back, my initial money back plus $100.
