I wasn’t aware that airlines ran flights this early. It must be a special seniors' fare, the pre-redeye express.

I am typing today’s entry out this morning with one eye open, whilst slurping coffee through a straw. I hope to be awake enough to drive to the airport in 30 minutes, but having had only a couple of hours of sleep, I make no promises. Clearly, even early birds have a better union than I do…

Topping this off, we have failed. Seven Casinos, seven days, stalled one casino short of the goal, a victim of maternal casino overload. As in: “if I never see another #$@& casino, it’ll be too soon!!” Odd, considering the sum extracted over 7 days far outweighed the sum invested. Ah well, spots on a leopard and all that…

I must run. In our kitchen, I have a bowl of sugar to inhale through my nose, and a cold shower that I hope may awaken my legs. With any luck, there will be no other fools awake this time of time of day, to get in the way of my hurtling vehicle…

Chow for now!!
