I didn't want to go to Atlantic City alone, so I called Howie last night and talked him into making the trip with me. The first thing I gambled on was whether or not Howie would drive me insane with his incessant talking on the trip down to the shore. Much to my surprise, he wasn't all that bad, so I lost that bet.

My first name is Bernie, as in, Bernard. My last name is Michaels, as in, more than one Michael.
