Ladies and Gentlemen,

By now all of you should have received an envelope containing this year's particulars.

You know the drill.

Have a good time!

I miss Hong Kong home.

October is rolling in and October is whale season.

To send him overseas or not to send him overseas? I'm not even sure he would make it out of customs.

Make him run errands perhaps. Make him run all across the country.

Make him cater to the petty needs of Mr Delaney and company. All their petty needs.

Or maybe just Mrs Delaney's. So many possibilities.

It is sad when someone thinks their fame and good reputation will make up for a poor performance. I wouldn't mind if it was just one show but five in a row? If that continues, the MGM will have to find herself a new evening show act come autumn.

Actually, now would be a good time to do some overall house cleaning.

[Wayne]
My dear boy, if saying 'yes, sir' for the rest of your life is your way of saying 'thank you', I'd rather you just say 'thank you' once, mark it done and move on. Bootlicking and grovelling doesn't become you and I don't need my ass kissed by you.

You're of no use to me the way you are now. Take some time off and go somewhere nice. I don't want you near me until you've fixed yourself.

No, the sun does not rise at 2am. Until the day the earth sails straight into the sun, this will remain a fact not even climate chance can rattle.

Red? Is there something you'd like to share?

Wayne, say goodbye to your friend and get your ass back here by Tuesday morning.

It's good to be home.

[Private]
He bailed me out because he 'couldn't be bothered with planning that chariot race any longer'. Also, he used someone else's money to get me out, and he expects me to deliver a briefcase full of cash to New York sometime in the near future.

Does he know that I'm not supposed to leave the state? Yes.

Does he care? No.

Ms Tesla is here and she brought a friend. I owe Mr Ares money which I can't repay... because my bank accounts are frozen.

Suddenly, jail doesn't seem like a bad a place to live in anymore. At least, it's quiet and crazy-gods-free there...

Wait. I don't mean that.

[Voice mail]
...help me? Please?

You silly, foolish, stubborn little boy. All you had to do was ask.

How many times have I told you not to let your pride get in the way? How many more times do I have to say it before you start listening?

[end private]

July is creeping in and the holiday weekend will bring in a fresh batch of adventurous hedonists. Red and her friend have claimed dominion over the Treasure Island. The rest is still up for grabs.

Now is the time to stake your claims, people.

After being on the phone with Mr I-refuse-to-pronounce-the-'th'-properly-although-I-deal-with-English-speaking-customers-all-day-banker, all I can say is: Well. This is kind of... Ah, shit.

I hate it when the geezer's right. Smug bastard will be even more intolerable than he already is. Going back home to Vegas tonight.

[Mona Libera]
Ms Libera, if you have concerns/questions regarding your property, Charlie Martens [phone, address] will be more than happy to help you with them.

I think a man ought to get drunk at least twice a year just on principle, so he won't let himself get snotty about it. (Raymond Chandler)

New York, it has been an utter pleasure to see you again. Your winter wonderland dress was a charming surprise. However, it is time that this child of yours takes his leave from you before things turn sour again.

I am aware that I owe certain people drinks and that there are others who owe me a couple. To prevent it from turning into a marathon of rushed meetings which will leave everyone unsatisfied and stressed out, I'd like to suggest a friendly meet and greet at the Gramercy Park Hotel Roof Club tomorrow night.

It's time to put on make-up and dress up nice, ladies and gents.

((ooc: I know I've failed at plotting/establishing back story for Gambling. I'm very sorry! Let's do it here! Old/new friends/acquaintances/business partners/rivals/enemies/frenemies - anything goes. ^_^))

But please do nothing till you hear it from me.
And you never will!

Oh, New York, New York. How I've missed you, you cranky, menopausal, hysterical whore! Since I'm going to be here for a while, I might as well reacquaint myself with you and your sons and daughters.

Look, ma, your favourite bastard son is back!

Someone once asked me why women don't gamble as much as men do, and I gave the common-sensical reply that we don't have as much money. That was a true but incomplete answer. In fact, women's total instinct for gambling is satisfied by marriage. (Gloria Steinem)

Still flying high or have the charming newly-weds hit rock-bottom?

Please be so kind as to let me know where to send the photo album and the tape.
