Don't lose the nest egg...

If you said, "It's from the movie Lost In America, 1985, with Albert Brooks and Julie Hagerty," you have the same appreciation for obscure for movies that I have, and you get 2,000 bonus points.

The gist of the movie is: the couple decides to get away from the rat race, buys a motorhome, and goes off to "discover America."  One of their first stops is at a casino... and she loses their nest egg. 

No, Joan hasn't lost our nest egg... that I know of.  I was down $20 the first day, but have managed to quit when I am even each day since.  I don't think that is the case with Joan, but I am smart enough to not ask.  We had another breakfast buffet this morning; you pay for that before you are seated.  The lady at the cash register asked, "Do you have your Riverside King of Clubs card with you?"

"Yes, but there are hardly any rewards on it..."

"Let me have it," she said; "Every bit helps."

Yeah, she deducted all 41¢ I had built up on my card.  And, she did it without snickering.  In gambling parlance, I am not "a whale"... not even a minnow... probably barely an amoeba.  But, We have fun with it, and just enjoy being out and about.  And, Laughlin is a nostalgic place for us, going back to when we first started motorhoming.
