My worries at present are like snow flurries. They drop into view in my conscious mind; I evaluate them to decide how likely they are to actually happen, and then I let them fall to the ground, where they usually disappear. As a “due diligence” type of person, I take precautions when it comes

Last night, I drove to the Emerald Queen Casino (the one on Portland Avenue) to reconnect with a lady I met years ago when we both had vendor tables at holiday fairs.
