In the words of Three Dog Night "I've seen things I ain't never seen before." There was the little old lady who looked like one of those dried apple dolls sitting at a slot machine, there must be a whole fleet of motorized scooters buzzing around the casino -just barely missing those who are not fleet of foot. If the elderly drivers ever organize themselves they will be a serious threat. Then tonight there was a young woman sitting at the bar at The Water Club. Her skirt was so short that from the back her left cheek was exposed. I almost missed her because we also passed a Cougar who was wearing the lowest cut t-shirt I have ever seen. My librarian sensibilities have had a trying time. And, I lost $40. Twenty of it was at a slot machine with a "That Girl" Marlo Thomas theme. I had expected good karma from her as I had faithfully watched her show in my youth. I was there when Mr. Marie didn't want her to have her own apartment, when Donald proposed at the Orange Julius, when she had all those unsuccessful auditions and lousy jobs. Lot of good my intense knowledge of her life did for me. At least the Borgata has a lot to look at - I'm thinking of the decor. The place is full of Chiluly - chandeliers and sculptures -Just beautiful. Great frescoes and mosaics on the floors. At The Water Club, water takes many forms and cascades down stone walls, through the floors and in the most beautiful flower arrangements. It even shoots in spouts behind the check-in desk. The Millers spent yesterday with us and this rainy morning we drove back to Margate to see Lucy the Elephant, built in 1886, and had a great breakfast at a little neighborhood restaurant called Hannah G's. Tomorrow we are off to Tarrytown, NY to see Noel Molinelli in "I love you, you're perfect, now change."
