Another nice breakfast this morning...and a Bloody Mary before settling in to watch a little pro football. It's Tampa...so we're watching the Buccaneers game...a tough loss.
Our friend, Astrid, has suggested a trip to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino for late afternoon and, around 4:30PM or so, I'm on my way. It's a very nice place...relatively new and everything first-class. I'm a few minutes early, so I decide to spend $5 on quarter slots. Around quarter number six or so, I hit a $260 jackpot...which I immediately cash in and pocket carefully.
Astrid and I spend a half hour or so walking around the casino checking things out before heading to dinner at the steakhouse, Council Oak. It's a nice place...and the prime dry-aged steaks are excellent! I have a nice "wedge salad" with blue cheese dressing and bacon along with an 18 oz. bone-in N.Y. Strip...delicious. For dessert, Astrid and I split an enormous mound on vanilla ice cream, covered with crushed heath bar and flamed with Bacardi 151...yum!
By the time that I get back to Ed and Molly's, it's after 9:00PM...just in time to catch the second half of the Bengals/Jets game before bed.
