Another Windsor Update

Here we go:

– I don’t think my drinking density has been this high since Cuba, where I would begin drinking at 10am every day.
Comparing to the conference I went to last year in September, Quebec hospitality is about 10x better than Ontario hospitality — particularly the food.
– I hope I behaved well tonight.
– I made $8 at the casino tonight, but I’m about to go out for more…..so let’s knock on some wood. *knock knock*
– Tourism, from a public policy view, needs to rethink itself as provider of social service to the public as opposed to a revenue generator for the public.
– An exact quote from my twitter: “Wow, gambling can be so addictive. Thank god I’m a mathematician.” Really though, thank god I’m a mathematician.
– I’m easily replacable. I need to remember that.
– The government of Ontario really shouldn’t be involved in the casino business. Write your MP.

When in Rome…etc

Quick Update from Windsor

I’m in Windsor (Ontario) for the Ontario Tourism Summit, staying at the Caesars Windsor. Here are a few quick updates and observations:

– I rode Via 1 here and it was pretty good.
– Tonight’s receptions at the Canadian Club Brand Centre was a cool venue.
– Casino’s are kinda depressing. Seriously.
– I won $37 on roulette tonight.
– VIP parties with people kissing your ass are conflicting. But I can see why they’re effective.
– We take it for granted, but the ease of communication in our modern world is amazing.
– Toronto is much bigger than people realize.

Good night.
