I Felt Lucky

What was I thinking? Must have been the endorphins from aerobics.....

Went to Thunder Valley, and immediately cratered. First I was $400 down, then $600. Ultimately I went down $1,200, before the luck began turning. Hours of sturm und drang later, I fought back to where I had started. As the dealer said, if you leave with the money you started with, plus an ice cream cone, you're a winner.

Winnings: $1,550 minus $1,400, minus $100 E. stake = $50.
