For everyone still tuning in, I want to wish you all a very happy holiday season and new year filled with luck, joy and excitement (if that's what you're into).
Down here, the first casino reopened today after being out of commission for 116 days. I hear they have three floors of gaming delight re-opened, but no buffets or restaurants to complete the hedonism.
On a state-of-the-coast note, November unemployment figures for Mississippi came in yesterday. In the six coastal counties, over 34,000 people were unemployed and seeking assistance, around 17 percent of the labor force.
I will be covering some Christmas events over the weekend and I'll try to do a better job of keeping you all updated.
Again, Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you guys too. Hope that you have better luck in the coming year than some of the gamers in the casino. Glad to see you still blogging. :)

Yeah keep coming up with these updates - I still try to come to this site at least once a day. Although technically it is "December 26" - I would still like to wish you both a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

And I hope you both enjoy your New Years and find a nice bottle of wine or champaign or something to celebrate with! :-)

Happy New Year to ya. I'd say "don't drink too much," but if anyone has an excuse to get loaded, it's the people who suffered through the Hurricane. So mix yourself some Hurricanes and party on!
I will, however, say, don't drink and drive!
Peace,
