So one suggestion that my son’s 3rd grade teacher had was for him to keep a journal over the summer as a way to practice their writing; I love the idea. Why wouldn’t I? You see what I’m doing here right? I mean, right now I’m writing this on my iPhone. What does that tell you?

What better time to start his journal than the first day of our vacation. It was perfect. Get this: I kept a journal during our honeymoon. Yeah, I remember sitting outside early in the morning in Amsterdam writing in it. I guess it’s pretty obvious, I also like to write. So yeah, Monday morning, the first thing he did, was write a page in his journal; this is a requirement before video games each morning before we go to the pool. He didn’t really fight us on it.

I’m thinking about writing it here, what he wrote. Maybe I squeeze it in? Maybe I just show it all in one shot? It’s late in the room…I’m not trying to make noise finding it, and copying from it right now. Nah, we wait, if I even decide to do that.

Still, I think it’s cool. Like I said, I’m doing my journal every day right here. Well, it’s a bit different; I’m talking mostly about Chicago sports, not my personal escapades, vast as they may be. Although right now, being on vacation, this is where my head’s at, 100%.

Of course, I’m going to gamble. First nights have rarely been kind to me. I remember going with my future wife, hitting a blackjack table in Aladdin, dropping $150 in like 10 minutes; she’s just looking at me. That pales in comparison where I ended my first gambling session down $1,500. I don’t know about you, but that’s a lot of money for me. Maybe not so much back then; my bills were cheap. But now? Yeah, thee olde gambling bankroll is not very big. I hoped $200 would be enough, for the whole trip…. See, I told you. But first nights are never kind to me; I’m trying to think of a time where I was up after the first night. Even my few good trips that I had, I had to comeback late. Tread lightly.

$100 roulette; didn’t hit shit. Ok, I hit one number on the last chips I had left from that $100. It lasted me another two spins, but I was done. Now what? Half my projected bankroll is gone in the first hour. We’ve been here before. Go to the room? Nah. Lay low? Yeah. $20 in one of the video poker machine at the bar lasted me a good hour, and helped me make half my losses back. Night one in the books: down $50.

So there’s my journal entry for today; my son’s is much different. He talked about the airplane…. Only down $50 after one night is being considered a win in these parts…
