1. I buzzed out to Ed's this morning and picked him up. We had fun planned for later, but first I had an appointment at North Idaho Dermatology. For now, I see the dermatologist every six months to make sure that in my immno-suppressed condition, I'm don't have any cancerous growths appearing on my skin. The dermatologist found no problems -- my many hours indoors out of the sun and my time in the sun with long sleeves and long pants paid off. My skin is dry, though, and he recommended lotions for me to purchase to moisturize my feet and lower legs, in particular, but the rest of my skin, too.
2. Finished with that appointment, I limoed Ed and me over to the Spokane Tribe Casino. He and I go to the sportsbook there three times a year. We wager on the Super Bowl, the NCAA basketball tournaments, and the World Series. The Dodgers are huge favorites to win this year's World Series, so if our wagers were going to return us any fun money at all, we needed to bet on the underdog Blue Jays.
And we did.
It was quick, easy, and fun.
3. We spun reels after that.
I never exhausted the bank I started with and ended up forty bucks ahead and got to play all kinds of machines. That made for a fun day.
Ed hit a jackpot! I happened to be nearby when it happened. Ed mouthed the words, "I hit a jackpot", so I closed out of the machine I was on and dashed over to see what he'd spun to win this great pot. I can't really explain cogently what he did but suffice it to say that Ed made a superbly lucky spin and his good luck rewarded him handsomely.
Neither one of us felt like making a quick exit since I was hanging in there and Ed had prevailed, but around 4:00 we decided we'd assure ourselves getting back to the Silver Valley before dark and called it a day.
