Vacation, All I Ever Wanted ...

Yep, you may have noticed the lack of postings of late. That's because I'm in the middle of enjoying a nice week off with my lovely wife, Margie. We spent Monday in Newport, RI, which remains one of my all-time favorite places to visit. I've been going there for years for weekend jaunts and nighttime partying and I've yet to have had a bad time there! There's always a great little store to check out, an interesting bar or pub to sample some libations, and the scenic waterfront view.

On Tuesday we had another fun day at the Foxwoods Casino in nearby Ledyard, CT. Also highly recommended for a fun day or night out. We're not really gamblers, although we did pass some time in the Keno Lounge before taking in a superb dinner at the Al Dente restaurant. I've been to the casino's great Cedars Steakhouse several times before, but I was in the mood for some Italian cuisine this time out. Well, I'd rank Al Dente right up there with Cedars in terms of food quality, excellent service, and just an overall great dining experience.

Oh, and we won $8 on one Keno game. Yay!
