Joanna Markell, Super-American...George Washington, loser, S & J, also losers...Winner by knockout, Steve!...Little Red Grill
The drive between Reno and Vegas eight hours long. It seemed longer. We took a rest stop in Hawthorne, Nevada, America's self proclaimed "Patriotic Heart." Joanna got into the spirit, and posed for the picture above. "Don't Mess with America!"
While in Reno, Steve took a tip from Joanna and laid $20 on George Washington over Vanderbilt. Bad bet. The only team to score over 100 points in the NCAAs this year was Vanderbilt. Against George Washington. We had the gamble in us, but no payoff.
Our first night in Vegas, we walked up the strip and Joanna found more luck on the slots. So did Steve. While in Paris Casino, Steve saw a bank of Rocky Balboa slot machines, and as a tribute to our friend Nate Root, Steve played $1.00 on the nickel slot, and won $20.50! "Adrian! Adrian!", was Steve's chant after the big payoff.
Thank you again to Rod and Lynn for the little red grill. We used if for the Opening Day party and a couple other times since. If you make it down to visit us this summer, we guarantee you a hot meal off the grill. Burgers, hot dogs, Michelle's vegetables, fish, you name it we will grill it...on the LRG.
