Tuesday

This weekend (Friday - Sunday), we went to Vegas to have a short vacation. Something very rare happened there. In fact, it was a first for the two of us.

We left Vegas with more money then we started.

Yep, we won at gambling.

Normally, we go and spend part or all of our designated play money, but this time we brought it all back and then some.

Ok, our gambling winnings only netted $18 so we won't be giving up our day jobs, but it was nice none the less. In fact the $18 was about the amount of gasoline we used going to Vegas and driving around while in Vegas. It wasn't enough to pay for the gas to come home but it would have paid for part of it.

We went to one show, Phantom of the Opera. The stage was incredible. In fact, I wish I could have seen all the effects with the house lights up and no actors or music to distract from how things were done. It was great.

On the way home we stopped at Primm to allow some of the traffic to pass, more comfortable to be in a casino then stuck in traffic. While there, we ran into a fellow contributor at Carpetbloggers. Ok, so he hasn't contributed for a while, but hopefully he will have time in the future. Didn't have time to chat because he was getting ready to leave as we walked in, but it was interested to suddenly see a person you didn't expect and didn't know was there appear in the crowd.

I echo the boss' lament about the separation from the fast food I enjoy by statin. Sigh. Oh well, fast food is the food of the young not those who wish to reach old age.
