buying a bakery cupcake to eat in my favorite little city park and, later, seeing a rainbow

So not a gambler, but I had to at least do a slot machine. Won $1.75, then gambled it all away. The addictive part, for me, was pulling the lever.

We were at the MGM Grand, and I insisted we pretend we were in one of those casino heist movies where they try to blend in on the casino floor and talk into their sleeves and dash through all the hidden corridors. Rob was not exactly game for playing along, but at one point we did take the stairs instead of the elevator, and the minute we pushed through the door the fancy décor stopped - the stairwell was all cinderblocks and pipes and it was just like in the movies! I was pretty sure that from the stairwell we could find a service door that would lead us to the vault, and then we'd just need to replicate someone's fingerprint or eyeball in order to break in. Or maybe crawl through a duct and drop from the ceiling.

We're back home now, and today's my birthday. 28.
