April 1-- I was going to begin with an April Fools Day joke, but the St.Louis weather is already the biggest joke there is.

Yesterday was opening (rainy) day for the baseball Cardinals. What a game, too! The Cardinals are up 5-1 over the Colorado Rockies. Albert Pujols had his first home run. Adam Wainwright was pitching well.......
and then dumpster loads of non-stop soaking rain thundered from the black sky ruining the game and the day for everybody who was there.

St. Louis Weather Sucks.

I needed to escape this dark and wet living hell, so I went to see the movie "21". I chose to see 21 because it deals with blackjack in Las Vegas.

It's always sunny in Las Vegas.

I've been to Vegas a couple of times. The last time I was there for a friend's wedding.

It's a pretty amazing place.

I was playing roulette at the MGM Grand casino and a women offered to sell me a Hummer for 200 bucks! However, in my state of Midwestern naiveté, I soon found out that the Hummers that she was selling were not of the automotive sort.

Needless to say, I am still driving a Mazda and am still happily married.

Anyway, back to 21. I thought 21 was a pretty good movie, but the local movie critics only gave it a "B". I'm pretty sure I know why they only gave it a B. It's because it didn't have subtitles or any actors with a "Sir" or "Dame" title before their name. I'm pretty sure that if the makers of "Under Dog" had added subtitles, the St.Louis movie critics would have considered it an art film.

If you need to escape the freezing swamp, I give 21 an A-.

It's going to keep raining until 2012 I believe, so good luck to those of you taking part in our stupid contest.
In the meantime, I'm going to go see the movie Drillbit Taylor. It's not supposed to be any good but it takes place in Santa Monica.

It's always sunny in Santa Monica.

Until next time, I hope you survive Another Day In The Gray.
