Jerry and I were both dragging this morning. Glad I tacked on that extra day now. He didn’t hang out too long before he was headed back to Delaware to work on Sunday. I went down to the gym and knocked out my 2 miles then back to the room for a shower and to get ready for the day. I had no real plans; just figured I’d head back to Caesars and perhaps see if Carluccio’s Pizza in Bally’s was serving that fresh mozzarella and Roma tomato pizza.

I ended up at Tun Tavern for a light lunch then went back to the room to work on my blog posts for this past week. After about 3 hours I got that all done and had the maid in to clean the room and make the beds. Which reminds me to mention take care of the people that take care of you. I’m not talking about your family & friends. I’m talking about the person that pumps your gas, your waiter/waitress, maid/cleaning people, the person that takes your carry-out order or makes your food, etc.

I ended up leaving the hotel around 4:30pm. I arrived at Caesars and went to Gordon Ramsay’s for an early dinner. I had a Braised Short Rib with Wild Mushroom Ragout, Peas, Carrots, Pomme Frites, & Braising Jus. For dessert I had toffee “pudding” which was more of a cake-like consistency, a little pot of liquid toffee to dump on top of it, and vanilla ice cream on the side. It was so good.

I got a text from that fellow I met at Ramsay’s bar on Tuesday asking me if I was still around and I responded that I was ironically at the same bar that we met at before. A few minutes later Will shows up saying he was just down the way in the Laurel Lounge, an area for reserved for more prominent casino customers. He had a table held and I went to meet him after dinner. We sat, drank, watched football and chatted for a time.

We ended up paling around the rest of the night. Gambling some, drinking, and conversing about all kinds of topics.

I called it night around 3am and headed off to the hotel, parting ways with Will. Have to get up with that guy again sometime.
