a thank you gesture...

Dear Jim,

I gamble frequently at Fallsview in Niagara Falls, Ontario. They have good shows. Recently, I gambled enough times to earn bonuses and one of them includes discounts to their shows and hotel accommodations. Chicago is in town Thursday, May the 8th at 8:30 pm. If you and your wife have the date open, would you like to be my guest for Chicago and a stay at the Fallsview Hilton Hotel that evening? It would be my pleasure to treat you, provided they still have accommodations open and tickets available. If you let me know soon, I'm sure I can arrange it. It would be part of what I had earned gambling and it would be my pleasure to have your wife and you, as my guests... I might even be able to get 3 seats together for the 3 of us. If I can get a date, that'll be 4 seats together and a nice evening for the 4 of us. Please let me know and I will go ahead with the reservations. If you and your wife gamble, we could spend some time in the casino, before or after or both. And I could get a chance to show you around the Canadian part of Niagara Falls, which is spectacularly beautiful, as you know. The Fallsview Casino is just that: it has a great view of the Falls...

If it's not convenient, it's OK... NF is not going away soon. We could also do something else at some other time, say a Sunday afternoon or any afternoon or evening for that matter. I'm retired and I'm not committed to any schedule.

I looked for EL&P without success. I did find a copy of The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd and I listened to it in my car. It is still spectacular.

Sincerely,

Izzy.
