the guy looks way out of shape and ready for a heart attack. just kind of soft and beat down and crazy, like a compulsive gambler who hit bottom. the whole thing is so depressing. Why not just run stories about people who lose a couple hundred k at pechanga? it’d be about the same. one detail I was struck by was the custom brick pizza oven in the kitchen. that’s a nice feature that never occurred to me; but clearly these people are eating too much damned pizza if they are even thinking about a custom pizza oven. still, looking at the comments on the article at pe.com, and here, i’m wondering if we are too harsh. maybe the attitude toward people like him should be the same as toward compulsive gamblers. it’s like a sickness. should get treatment.
