Remember This Guy?

Well, he's turning 50 in November! And in keeping with the casino theme, we, his of-age children (he is 50, after all), are taking him somewhere he's wanted to check out for a while: Four Winds Casino. So if you hit the jackpot in Vegas this month, try your luck in Michigan! If you spend all but your retirement money or kids' college accounts, maybe you'll make your money back at Four Winds!

So here's the skinny: Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, Mich., on Nov. 13. We're going to try to be there between 6:30 and 7 p.m. to eat at one of the burger joints and then hit the tables and hang out in the bars. Since it won't take any of us that long to blow through our cash (or call it quits if we hit big), we'll be driving back that night, whatever time. (I, obviously, am my parents' sober driver.)


We're keeping it casual - this is as much as an invitation as anyone gets, so if you know someone who doesn't check the blog, let them know what the plan is!

We hope people can make it out. Let me (Amelia, ameliajeffirs@yahoo.com) know if you think you might come though, especially if you want to eat with us, so we can make sure there is enough space for everyone and so we can make sure we meet up with everyone.


Happy gaming! (FYI - You'll likely find Nathaniel at the poker tables and me at the roulette tables sometime throughout the night. We're not sure yet what Dad's going to play.)

I'm assuming that everyone has figured out that I'm speaking of my father, your brother/uncle/nephew/friend/etc., but just to save face for someone, this is Mark Jeffirs turning 50! (Actual birthday Nov. 16.)
