Sweep

About the blog 

   I'm not sure when it first started but one night I began noticing I was losing people at a casino.  Not that they didn't materialize again at some point.  It was just after gambling for awhile I'd go look for who had accompanied me (or that I was accompanying) and I couldn't find them.

   What should a person do when they can't find someone that depends on them for their ride home?

   Make a full sweep of the casino floor to find them.

   That wasn't initially how I'd go looking though.  Not seeing someone where they're expected doesn't immediately raise red flags.  At least it shouldn't.

   After a certain number of repeats it becomes difficult to ignore that something's not quite right.

   I used to enjoy going to gamble with other people.

   I still do.

   The times I've gone strictly for purposes of winning more than I brought are few.

   But I'm not sure where people I'm with (or are with me) are being lost to in a casino.  I feel like I should ask questions except I can't think of a reason it should be my business.  There are plenty of places they could be when I've looked.  I've never been desperate enough to enter a bathroom or lounge to keep tabs on someone.

   One place I've never even considered entering (and wasn't aware it existed until a few weeks ago) is the VIP lounge.

   Why would entering there not be considered?

   I'm no VIP.

   And if anyone was that could invite me...

   I'm still no VIP.  And that's not backwards.
