Lady Luck has returned- (Please stay a while this time!)


I am not a "BIG" gambler but I do enjoy going to casinos every now and again to drop $50. My luck playing slots and Texas hold'em has been terrible over the last 4 months. "Bad Beats" have become common place (for non poker players a bad beat is a hand you played correctly and the opposing player won based on pure luck) But that changed last night!

I made a short stop at the Delaware ParkRace Track on my way back from taking LK and TS to Philadelphia to catch a train to NY.
And low and behold your friendly neighborhood "Retired Guy" hit the jack pot not once but twice. The first for 2,000 quarters and then an hour later for 1,440 quarters. That's right the retired guy walked away with 8 benjamins nicely folded in his wallet.

Bob and Ted's Excellent Adventure


This is Bob and Ted, our personal guide to the battlefield. He was great and very dramatic describing the battles and tactics. This picture is looking from Seminary Ridge(Confederate position) toward Cemetery Ridge (Union position). 5000 solders were killed on this field in one hour on July 3, 1863.

Jordan's Horse

This was my final picture. I pulled off the road to answer a call from Jordan. After talking for a couple minutes this horse stuck his head out the window and gave me a look that said
"What the hell are you doing outside my barn --- City Boy!"
