Passing Another Marker

Today is the day. On this date 40 years ago, I was born. Yes, 40.

To celebrate, Sarah took me away for the weekend. I had no idea what we were doing until we were there. She booked a room at the new MGM Grand Detroit with dinner at Bourbon Steak. Jack and Kristen meet up with us for drinks, dessert and a little gambling.

I capped the night by playing Let It Ride from midnight to 2:00. I sat down with $100 and walked with $360. No, it’s not a lot, but it was better than walking with 0.

In addition to the decade change for me, today is also my mom’s birthday, so a big Happy Birthday to her.

Finally, I have also now lived in the Detroit metro area longer than I lived in the suburbs of Grand Rapids.
