We took a customer out last night to a local steak house in KC and for the first time I had a Kobe Beef Steak, which was amazing, and should be for the price. Apparently the cow must have flown first class from Japan before they slaughtered it.

We hit the casino after that. I played Blackjack with a my good friend and old boss, who knows nothing about Black Jack. He would go completely with his guy, staying on 16's against the dealer's 10, making completely unorthodox plays and being very successful with it. He would get a good feeling, press his bet and win, big on $100 hands. After a while, when he would get a good feeling, I would jump on that band wagon quickly and press my bet. For a while, we couldn't lose, and we both walked away while we were way up. He ended up about $700 up, I was about $225 up. His philosophy for winning was "You can't care whether you win or lose", and he didn't. He would bet big and tip big. We ended up getting home about 3 and I got up about 5 this morning to get to the airport. I went from 80 degrees yesterday in Kansas City to coming home this morning to 1/4" of ice on my car. I broke my ice scraper trying to cut through it without any luck. The kids are off school and are loving it.
