Congrats on the purchase. I've been to the Casino a few times (I'm a recent Los Angeles transplant) and have enjoyed my times there immensely; good dealers, good greeters and support staff. In fact, I have about 4 or 5 poker buddies coming up on Saturday for the Omaha 8/b tournament on Saturday morning as part of a poker weekend. Look forward to the improvements.

To a person, my friends who know poker, gaming and the challenge of finding and buying a casino right have been excited for us and our new ownership. Despite my inference that I feel like a 24-hr busboy/bouncer, it's been a blast so far and, frankly, an ego boost. We've got a couple of thousand employees and market-leadership in our other businesses, but I'd forgotten how much fun it is to have 300+ people engaged, hands-on, in upgrading a business. And bottom line, even if it's just a mid-sized cardroom in a smaller market, it's still a licensed casino in the 2nd largest gaming state in America. We'll take it.

On the other hand, my wife is a part-owner of a children's clothing business and a yoga/pilates nut. She loves to see me engaged in whatever I do, but from her perspective, pretty much everything I do is nonsense. This morning, I was checking in on yesterday's results and incident reports and when I got off the phone, she commented, "It's like owning a Denny's. You guys never close." Well, sort of.

My friends think I'm living like Bugsy Siegel. My wife thinks I run a Denny's. It's all about perspective.
