Final Thoughts
Libby: Atlantic City, with its strip clubs, sleazy lounges, and casinos are the best place in the world to be a 3rd wheel.
Erin Ryan: Still on hold with Bank of America.
Peter: Breaking even is a state of mind. Like situational ethics. Or swine flu. All of which you are contractually obligated to pick up in New Jersey.
