Take Me Out to the Ballgame...

My Mom and Dad have semi-season tickets to the Peoria Chiefs games... I love going to baseball games in the summer. So this was a lot of fun. My Dad is like a kid in a candy store at the games... he keeps me informed of who is who and what is what.

So I was approached by "Blaze" the entertainer of the baseball game... and he asked if I wanted to play him in BLACK JACK during the 4th inning. The prize if I win? My name in a raffle for a trip for two to Vegas.
Needless to say... I ...uh, kind of won. ha ha!!
After that, I managed to snag a frisbee that they were giving away for free by throwing them into the crowds.
The old man behind me: "Girl, I don't gamble... but if I were you, I would."
Hmm... have to take that into consideration...

The night was cool and the stars were out...
we ended the night with fireworks at the stadium.
ohhh... and just in case you are wondering. Yes, I cheered for the Chiefs... no, I did not cheer as loudly as I did in Japan. :)

Blackjack is a terribly complicated game. You must have had somebody who is brilliant with math and odds-making give you some pointers! If you win, you should take that person to Vegas. Just an idea...

Jord... I mean anonymous, i think a foot massage should suffice for the good advice I recieved. What do you think?

If I win... I think I'll take someone who can win a big pot of money through texas hold 'em... so that I can pay off my student loans.

P.S. My roommate is a mathmatician so I think I have my own rain(wo)man. Thank you very much.

P.P.S. Mary, I meant that in the kindest-low-grade-genius kind of way.
