Here are a few pictures from my birthday
trip to Atlantic City from 12/26-12/28 2006.

King Bed

I love staying in hotels because I love the
king-sized beds. My room is too small for
one or I'd certainly buy one!

Everyone stands and waits to see the
dancing fountains. Looking at this is
more exciting to me.

Went down to Atlantic City, New Jersey for two nights to celebrate my
67th birthday with friends and friendly slots. I *always* win on my
birthday, even in Las Vegas.

The weather was warm and sunny, the two night comped room spacious,
and our meals were comped because of slot and table play.
We didn't do much listening to music because we can do that at home.

Weather was perfect for walking the boards. This picture was taken from the
second floor of the newly reconditioned shops @ the pier.

The colors went red. green, white. The stores
are *very* upscale. Went into the Apple store
and played with the computers then to
Starbuck's for hot chocolate. Sat in the
window seat and looked at the ocean, children
running on the beach.

had gone down on the neighborhood
casino bus. You pay $18 and get a $20
voucher from the casino when you arrive.
Going home on the train, the senior fare
was $5 or something like that; but it takes
twice as long and stops *everywhere*!

NJ sky

As we rode along, I watch the interesting
cloud formations. Not quite stratus.
Not cirrus either.

Ford's Mistake

On the train reading the newspaper. I think Ford's big mistake was
pardoning Nixon.
My big mistake was getting locked in the train's lavatory and pulling the
wrong switch trying to get out which disabled a door on the train.

Delilah's

Deliah's, originally uploaded by ujima.

After arriving at the station, I stopped at
Delilah's soul food stand to get some
corn bread and some triple
chocolate cake.
Delilah's macaroni and cheese was
named America's best on Oprah's show
(which I do not watch). She has two more
stands and a restaurant.

30th Street Station

While standing on the bridge, waiting
for the reticulated bus, I like to look at
30th Street Station, the main railroad
station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
It was completed in 1933.

Gov of Idaho & his bell

When the Republican Convention came to town in 2000, Mayor Street
asked us (Dems) to help out and volunteer. I was @ the bell exhibit made
by the kids from the 50 states.
Of course i told the Gov the joke whose punchline is *I* da ho! He was
underwhelmed :)

I has seen this play on Broadway but went to see the London version
because I like the work of these three actors whom I had enjoyed
on PBS.
