Not Even KLM is Immune

I am making the long journey home and am sitting in the Amsterdam airport writing this post. Did you know that along with their liberal social policies, world class soccer, and wooden shoes, Amsterdam is home to the only airport that I have been to that has a full casino in it? Not just slots like Vegas, but blackjack and roulette.

Since I had time to kill and I'm feeling the gambling surge with the Super Bowl a mere 12 hours away, I hit the tables and quickly turned 25 Euros....into zero. Just like in Vegas I mourned the loss over a plate of steak and eggs, but instead it was McDonalds coke and fries.

Making matters worse, the flight is delayed an hour meaning that its a little touch-and-go whether I will arrive to SFO in time for kickoff.

Also just read that the Bruins won by 50 or so points over the Oreg. ST. Beavers. Nice.
