Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Chris' topic looked lonely by itself. :P


"It's all about math," he said, refilling the glass of brandy with a practiced dip of the wrist. "When it comes to cards, all the luck in the world can't fool a good head for math."

"You would say something like that," the old bar diver muttered, his red eyes half shut by the grip of alcohol. "Math or no math, that damn casino over there is bad luck." He pointed to the artistically lit piece of metal and glass that was the casino skyscraper, "The goddamn shills are all over the place, and I'm sure they've got some button on the roulette tables to push when I bet. They've gotta, it's in all the movies. But they don't tell that to bartenders like you, do they? You're too friendly to know anything important, Arty."

"Sir," The man said patiently. "It has been 5 months since you started coming here. You can stop calling me Arty now." He tapped his nametag, "My name is Louis, not Arty, remember?"

"If you wanted to change the subject, you just had to say so. You don't have to lie to your old man, Arty boy." The old man scratched his crooked nose and smiled,"Who do you think gave birth to ya eh?"

The young man behind the bar laughed and shook his head and shoved the receipt over the counter, "I think you've had enough to drink, Sir."
