For the past three years, I have wanted to celebrate my birthday (which is in November) with a trip to Detroit to take in the two casinos there (MotorCity and Greektown) that I had never been to. Each time something came up to prevent it. Last year my partner was quite ill at the time, so my birthday just sort of came and went without much ado.
Regardless when their actual birthday is, kings and queens of England always have an "official" birthday, usually in the summer when the weather is nice. Elizabeth II, born in April, celebrates her official birthday in June, and I got to thinking that if it's good enough for the Queen, it should be good enough for me too. So, I declared June 18 as my official birthday, my partner took a couple days off so we could have a long weekend, made me a birthday cake, and drove us over to Motown. Blackjack was good to me, and I would have come home with more money than I took with me if it hadn't been for the craps table.
But, I achieved my goal -- we have now gambled at every casino in Michigan. Next year I guess we'll have to get busy in Wisconsin. There are five casinos there we haven't visited yet.
