I'm reading an uncorrected proof of Money for nothing by Edward Ugel, regarding gambling. At one point the author mentions that a friend's father had a tradition of taking his grown sons to Vegas, gambling etc. When he passed away, he left them a bit of money that was earmarked for "one last trip on the old man's dime." The sons took some friends and had a blast...


Our origins may not be the same, but it seems that others are reclaiming Columbus Day for their own hedonistic purposes. (psst, theirs dates back to 1996.) Makes me want to research other Columbus Day gatherings.

Believe it or not, only a few pages later, the author makes a random reference to a djellaba.





I'm starting to think I am meant to read this book for some strange reason.

Funny thing is, it's taking me forever to read, since I consider it kind of trashy and a guilty pleasure.
