Leaving (left) Las Vegas...

.. I am back from my 3 night excursion to Las Vegas. It was, of course, alot of fun, and it's amazing how fast time passes there. I felt like I had only been there for a day.

This was my fifth time in Las Vegas. Each trip has been a little different. On this trip, I noticed something that is kind of nice; alot of people are simply friendly. Every Blackjack table I sat at, we just had a great time. On my last night, I sat at a table with a group of girls for almost 3 hours. By the end of that time, I felt like we were all good friends. It didn't seem to matter that most of us lost a little (or a lot) of money; we stayed at the table for the conversation. When I finally stood up to leave the table, my stomach actually was sore from laughing so much.

Another thing I noticed is that I really missed my wife. Despite being there for a bachelor party, I wish she could have gone with. She can really be "one of the guys"... there's not much you can say that would offend her. She would have been a great addition to many of the conversations we had at the Blackjack tables.

Well, now I'm back at home. One thing I brought back with me from Vegas is a nice cold and sore throat. I'm guessing I might have gotten one from my complete lack of sleep, the smokey casinos, the drinking of beer, and the eating of nothing but greasy food. Ya think?
