You can only get a 7 to stay in this, and there's barely a 4% chance of that." Jade went pale and sunk back into her seat as she realized May was righ..., but hopped back up again as the 7 of spades hit the river. "Cha! You can't beat me with that math baloney!" It was May's turn to look sullen as over half her chip stack went to Jade. Maybe that's what all of life came down to.. luck. It rattled her that she lost that hand, and she immediately started bleeding chips on bad gambles. It was all. ‘Come on, there’s no time to waste.’ What was she talking about? This was Denver, there was nothing but time to waste. They collected her luggage and her mother drove to her sister’s house on the outskirts of town where there was more hoopla and fussing as she was greeted by Louisa and her ten year old son Brandon. Brandon was excited. It was a school day but his parents had gotten him off school to go to a farm with grandma to learn about sustainable agriculture for ‘Earth Day.’ Katherine. We'd best get this boat in the water while there's still time."Oh, Jack, is she really finished?" Pretty near. We'll step the mast and rig her in the water. First we got to christen her, though." A name! You've thought of a name at last!"Jack grinned. "She's had her name since 1936. Tomorrow we christen her. I mean I'd like you to do it, Beth, if you will?" Of course I'd love to, silly! What are you going to call her?" Maid Elizabeth, of course, silly!" And he roared with laughter at her. I may be biased but I thought they were just tired of being shown up by Jeena. Jeff and Ken were ambivalent but followed their wives when they turned back. I followed and thought we were about done for the night. When you have had as much to drink as we had, you get a form of tunnel vision which was exacerbated by the fog and mist. After walking a half block or so I looked first to one side and then the other and discovered that Jeena was NOT walking with the rest of us. I spun around rather.
