Yeah, from Day One with Shonnie, I had that same bad foreboding.
Shonnie was the one who ‘introduced’ me to Tom Waits and for that, I am eternally in her debt.
Roulette really is the most elegant game in the house. You don’t have to concentrate the way you do with craps. And I like the accouterments. The wheel. The ball. The clakity-clack sound.
Lots of smoking in these stories. I get cotton mouth just reading them.
I completely agree with you on Roulette. I have ‘experienced’ Roulette all over the world from Europe to Africa to the Far East (and of course Vegas). Love the game and the atmosphere of it.
‘Captivated’ readers are the best!
