It's ALL about B-I-N-G-O!

Yes it's true. I am hooked on bingo!

I remember working at the Palace Indian casino in Lemoore. During the monthly employee meetings we would play bingo and win prizes. I was clueless to the bingo lingo - 6 pack, small picture frame, etc.
Since all the retirees are RV'ing it Key West, we have bingo at the base's beachfront bar, Sunset Lounge. It is sponsored by MWR and the Chief Petty Officers Association. Now you know where I am every Thursday night.

I was a winner until my friend Julie cursed me. Three weeks in a row I won! Two weeks I won the "Crazy L" game consecutively. Thought my name and the game's name had something to do w/ my winning but that superstition hasn't panned out all that well. :) However the jackpot was $75/each. I won one $25 jackpot as well.

I have had a few friends join me in bingo but Julie has been my constant weekly bingo companion. Julie worked w/ me at US Airways and her full-time job is a FBI analyst (so I don't mess with her). She tells me I am a jackpot hog! How dare she!

She's just jealous because she hasn't been winning. She finally did win one jackpot of $25 and had to share it with 6 others ($3.57pp)!!! Poor Julie. Perhaps that's her karma for cursing me. LOL

And yes even for Valentine's I will be at bingo. George is working his part-time "fuel farm" job so I will not have my own personal cabana boy this week.

Who would have ever thought I would be hooked on bingo and become a pro at the bingo lingo!
