When My Baby Smiles at Me I Go To Reno

Citizens of Reno:

On behalf of me, please accept my sincere regret that any of you misunderstood my recent joke in which your fair city was used as a punchline. I meant not to defame "The Biggest Little City in the World." Instead, I sought to illustrate L's frustration with my newfound obsession with Las Vegas, card games and gambling in general. I have read the angry emails and apologize for any confusion. I'm sure Reno is a fun and exciting place and would gladly accept any free plane tickets or complimentary hotel accommodations sent to my home.

Now if you'll excuse me, I want to get back to reading my new book.

Are you kidding, Laura? I read it on the plane before I went to Vegas just to see if I could learn any card-counting tricks. The book is a fast read and lots of fun.

I have to agree with te recommendation for Bringing Down the House, although I must say it is a TERRIBLE book to read three days before actually GOING to Vegas.

Ouch.

I think it would only be terrible right before a trip to Vegas because it wouldn't leave you enough time to learn all of their card counting tricks.
