Dinner Tip
[Day 4] Had dinner with my family & the line for the casino buffet was infinite.  I could see our waitress was working pretty hard to bus all her tables.  Discourteous diners make a server’s demandinging job twice as hard.  As we finished our plates, we neatly stacked them up for her & my parents left a decent tip.  As we were walking away from the table, I realized I left my jacket...

[Day 2: Restored Faith In Humanity] A friend on a Podcast I listen to recently got mugged of some personal possessions.  Among those items was her iPhone.  She is an entrepreneur and currently writing a book about the iTunes App Store for iPhone.  After this traumatic experience, she’d kind of lost her faith in humanity.  She felt violated and was even scared to leave the house.  A fan of...
