I previously offered mickey air miles and a hotel. He turned it down. In lieu of that, a coffee seemed like a nice idea.
Good to know I'm not a cash bettor. A couple of years there, way back when money was worth three times as much, I was lugging roughly 100K in cash and tickets around Las Vegas with me for two years -- on my person. I guess I needed the exercise. I tend to not mention this because the runners parading around the Stardust and Binions had much more on them. I was well under the radar.
For those who know me, yes, those two seasons were an anomaly. I usually had 20K to 30K in cash and tickets on me any given time for the other decades. Much lighter to carry. Not a strain -- explains my underdeveloped biceps.
As far as intelligence goes -- yes, I am a moron when in a room with the people I hang out and work with. I am blessed.
