TGIF...kind of

Today is Thursday and tommorrow is Friday. I have elected to take tommorrow off. This, in effect, makes today Friday for me. I plan to go up to South Lake Tahoe for a day trip. A few hours to take in the scenery and get in some gambling. I play a bit of slots, Black Jack, and Pai Gow Poker. I have played Texas Hold'em with friends but have not mustered up the courage to play against actual people for real amounts of money. Its been a while since I was last in a casino to gamble. I was in Las Vegas last November. But, that was just a stopping over point on my way to the Grand Canyon. Flew in, had dinner, then went to bed early before getting up early the next morning to drive to the Garnd Canyon. I was planning on doing some gamblind once I got back to Vegas. I got side-tracked and never made it back to Vegas, but thats a whole other story. Lake Tahoe is a great year 'round destination. Summer has warm days on a clear lake fed by snow run off. Camping and nature are the big lures at this time of year. Winter offers skiing and snow. There are a number of ski resorts that ring the lake.
