Jacob and I had an enjoyable day on Saturday together. He got to Dubuque a little after 1100. We played some Guitar Hero, then went to a matinee performance of The Dark Knight. Although somewhat long at 2 hours and 40 minutes, there was sufficient action and suspense to keep us on the edge of our seats. I was reluctant to see the movie at first, because I'm not much of a Batman fan. However, I would recommend it to older viewers who like a good action flick. I would also agree with many that Heath Ledger's final performance was award-worthy.
After the movie, we grabbed a bite at Ponchero's. I had never been to one, but enjoyed it enough to return when I am in that area of town. Then we went down to the Dubuque Racetrack and Casino to get a taste of greyhound racing. I picked the winner in the first race we saw, but when it came to placing a real bet, I was pretty much clueless. I had better luck at the penny slots. I won back two of the dollars I lost on the dog track. We called the night pretty early because of my early departure for New York. It was good to see Jacob and all in all it was a good birthday.
