Just in case you missed the news, 50 is the smallest number to be the sum of two squares in two different ways: 5^2 + 5^2 and 1^2 + 7^2.

Why did I think Wiz turned 50 last year ??? Maybe he made some reference to entering his 50th year, I don't remember.
Anyway, Happy Bday, Mike. Hope you get 50 more good years.
In Vegas, 50 years old is an advantage play. I know my partner gets all kind of crap, free play, match plays, senior spins, discounted meals and movies, all for having done nothing except having not died young. :/
Here, I'll start ya off with the old folks schedule.
Monday - Eastside Cannery (I guess Cannery, up north as well)
Tuesday - Jerry's Nugget, Hard Rock
Wednesday - Boyd properties, Stations properties, Silver7
Thursday - Tuscany, Palms, South Point
Here is one of my favorites that he gets, that I feel cheated that I don't get:
Boyd properties, Wednesday. Earn 50 points, you get a free breakfast or lunch buffet. Earn 100 points, you get a free breakfast or lunch buffet and a free dinner buffet. That really works out to a cost of a few pennies for 2 buffets. Oh and Sam's Town has a chocolate fountain at dinnertime....can't go wrong with that. :)

Thank you everybody for the kind birthday wishes. My 50th was yesterday. We had a nice taco and margarita party at my place.
Yes, I will now be eligible for "senior" and "silver" promotions here in Vegas. I find it kind of insulting to be called a "senior" but I'll get over it for a cheap buffet.
I would say that you have to life your life as opposed to just passively watching it slip by. The opposite of "take it day by day." Instead, have big goals and work hard to achieve them.
I would tell my 21-year-old self how to talk to women, if I could, but I still haven't figured that part out.

because you have money.

I'm late to the party, but, happy birthday!!!
What I've gotten from you and your websites pales in comparison to what I could ever give you! You have made gambling less of a gamble for me by making me smarter as to how I play. Thank you so much for making this fun.
I wish you many, many more birthdays to follow. I enjoyed my fifties but my sixties have been even more fun.
Hope it's a great year for you!

50 bugged me a bit but I got over it. Can't figure out yet how to deal with 60, still working on it ;-)
As for the advice to a 21 year old son, tell him to try to mostly talk to women that have a good deal of money of their own. The more, the longer the conversation ;-)

Body language, facial expressions, timing, flow. CONFIDENCE is a huge factor, but don't try to fake it because it comes off bad.
Two similar looking guys could say the same exact things and get totally different results.
You need to be good at reading them, you should know within minutes if they are really interested or just being polite or whatever. There's sometimes subtle tells.
Wasting time on a potential awkward situation sucks, not to mention its a confidence killer.
