Gonna Set My Soul On Fire!
Yes, the opening lines of "Viva Las Vegas" are already echoing through my head... in less than 24 hours we should be in Sin City for the ump-teenth time. If you really want to know how dorky I am about it, on the drive into town of late, I have had the song queued and ready to go as we round the corner and get our first glimpse of the Strip.
As mentioned this was supposed to be a business trip, unfortunately due to a family emergency the business people we (my business partner is going as well) were supposed to meet up with had to cancel.. So anyhow, we are still meeting up with each other for dinner... pretty comically now, hundreds of miles away now when we could just have dinner 15 minutes away from each other any day of the week!
We are excited about the couple of shows we have booked (Gladys Knight and Avenue Q), but otherwise it is a pretty open book... since we go to Vegas pretty frequently we have pretty much seen e everything... though we will have our first look a Wynn Las Vegas. Gambling-wise, I am not as stoked as usual. Having just been in Atlantic City last month... and not doing well at all on the video poker machines... my enthusiasm to lose more cash is not very high... but who knows, I tend to break fairly even over the long haul, so hopefully my luck will turn and I will be able to re-gain some of those losses.
Since we won't be back until Sunday afternoon... there are some of my celebrity "stud" birthdays that will pass by... there are some good ones ... so I didn't want to let the visuals sneak by... so here we go:
A very busy November 4th... Jeff Probst, Kathy Griffin, and Matthew McConaughy!
Hmmm... how I would love to be Kathy in that above sandwich!
For the record: Jeff snuffs out torch #43... my new favorite comedian Kathy turns 44... and Matt "is that a toothbrush in your mouth" McCon is still holding up quite fine at age 36.
And Scott-O would not be happy if I let this November 5th birthday go by unnoted:
In what has to be his most popular picture of him on the Internet, Javy Lopez turns 35. Javy was a long time catcher (don't even get me started on the pitcher-catcher double entendres!) for the Atlanta Braves but now plays for Baltimore. Javy Happy Birthday!
See you next week with another Vegas trip report (whether you like it or not)!
MMMM... Javy. Matthew is looking pretty good though too!
