Watertown Public Library

"Make a list of things that you need leave it blank except for number one write love gamble everything"

Howdy folks, I am currently in a library in lovely Watertown, NY a mere thirty minutes away from my grandfathers cabin on Lake Ontario. I truly love coming up here every summer and only wish I could bring other people with me...which next year I will actually, so party up on the US-Canada border next summer.

I got to hit up a charity casino yesterday and the day before in the Thousand Islands Region(Absolutely beautiful by the way). Charity Casino's are a little unique because they actually are owned by the Province of Ontario and run by the National lottery service. 80% of profits go to various charitable organizations and you can buy lottery tickets while you gamble. The first day I won about 100 dollars at blackjack and then foolishly tried to play other games and lost all my winnings...so I broke even. The second day I decided to stick to only blackjack and came out with a 225 dollar profit as I hit a lucky streak and won about 12 hands in a row...which is so fricking weird. I then celebrated with an ice cold Molson( Really effin good beer by the way) and a nice hamburger and kelbasa dinner. So far I have been doing everything and anything up here including hitting up a flea market, a record store, a book store, a bunch of small towns, two fine eateries called Harvey's( Best fast food burgers...ever) and Tim Horton's( Canadian Dunkin Donuts...they are everywhere). I had a maple dipped donut and I must say...it was like eating a pancake in donut form, absolutely delicious. I have also been reading a lot and trying to study Spanish...with little luck. I think most amazingly I have been walking, jogging and biking at break neck speed as I have found a state park beach about a mile and half away from the cabin and have frequented it often. Like the nerd I am, I actually wore my state park shirt there one day and talked with some of the maintenance guys. Nice guys. Ok, I have to give up my public computer now...damn time limits. Next time I write here it will be back at TCNJ, so if I don't see everyone before I go...good luck and rock it hard at your respective colleges!
