Atlantic City Getaway

Free room for two nights @ Caesar's Casino. A lovely room! Decorated in white, tan and brown with touches of orange in the paintings. We also got two free breakfasts. There are renovations going on, the banging from which starts before people are up. So Operation Band-Aid, as they call it, resuted in perks.

Walking from Bally's to Wild Wild West, I noticed a crowd at the windows. Looking out, I discovered these guys. They swung as they completed their task, delighting the crowd.

R U Registered?


R U Registered?, originally uploaded by ujima.

Spending afternoons, nights and evenings at the Clubhouse stopping each person who entered and asking them if they were registered to vote, Monday is the last day to register for the April 22 PA Primary.
Especially enjoyed Thursday and Friday afternoons because I could watch the NCAA games and reach the younger crowd and last night because Beatnik Brown Band was playing.
Off to Atlantic City tomorrow for three days of R&R. Baltimore Sis is coming up to stay with Mom.
