Profile Update

As my 60th birthday approached, I'd think 'you'll have to change your 'About Me' to read '60+'.

My birthday was two and a half weeks ago and I just did the update today - and realized there's a lot more than just my age to change.  There's also updating that we still live in our dream house but it's now in Carson City.  AND we are BOTH now happily retired.  I truly did love my work in education more than any other work I've ever done - but boy howdy, I'm super happy to no longer be working AT ALL.  Retirement is awesome!

J. is playing golf late today - a 2PMish tee time - it was strange knowing he was planning to play today but he was home all morning.  He plays again tomorrow and will be out of the house pretty early.

I was glad he was home this morning 'cuz he helped me get brownies made - we're sending a care package to B. in Texas - hopefully they will ship tomorrow and arrive by the end of the week (or sooner).

I decided to head to Reno yesterday - I rarely go these days without a 'reason' - no new free play yesterday but it was a 4x comps for slot play so I decided to play.  I had a great day and while I was down a bit, I regrouped stellarly on my favorite 'Hail Mary' machine.  Made up all the losses and walked out even.  Yay!

Our new neighbors T. & G. play mostly at El Dorado in downtown Reno - and their casino host got in touch with us (through them) and offered to set us up in their players club and bring us in at the same players level we are at Atlantis.  Huge, HUGE nice thing for them to do - clearly hoping we'll play there and I'm sure we will a bit.  We plan to go on Thursday evening for a bit - meet the host, pick up our cards.

I'm also spending Friday & Saturday night at Atlantis this week - there's an Anniversary celebration with drawings from 6PM to 9:30PM nightly - and since the room was free, I decided to stay.  Might win (sure hope to) free play or cash - and those drawings can be really great - I've won lots of free play - not often, but some.  It's worth the trip!  And I'm super looking forward to staying there so having beers while I play isn't an issue.

In other news, J. moved my iTunes files over to the new computer - only since I selected using the "OneDrive" when we set up the computer, I've hugely exceeded my "OneDrive" storage limit.  I can't save anything on the computer now.  I just drafted an email to our Tracy Realtor and it couldn't be saved - anywhere.  It's maddening.  What a racket - use "OneDrive" and we'll charge you a monthly or annual fee to store your 'stuff'.  This laptop has HUGE memory space - really, a LOT - so now we have to figure out how to deactiviate "OneDrive" and get my stuff on my computer's hard drive where it will stay safe and sound for decades.

Of course, J. made the change yesterday - and will now be MIA for two days - so I'm limited to just surfing the web, being on Facebook and updating the blog.

If you ever get a new computer and the setup asks 'do you want to use OneDrive?' say NO.  NO NO NO NO NO.
