Shakespeare Wuz Here

Argosy Casino in Alton, Illinois on the Mississippi
Most states prohibit gambling on land so this allows riverboats to take advantage of a loophole.  In fact, some never sail at all and have no captain or crew.  This particular dock was probably the launching place for my mother Cynthia Riggs on her honeymoon with Howard Attebery .  We are not much into roulette and black jack but this place catches our eye.  It sounds famous.  I''m thinking Odysseus' ship.  But his ship is not named.  As it turns out, Shakespeare used this name in several plays.  We eat dinner across the street.
