A lot of things to talk about here. Some will be dealt with in Some Thoughts, but I intend to keep my main focus on Vegas. We are in town for the Ed Sheeran concert, a bday present to the oldest boy. He’s legal, so he is able to experience Vegas–a place that really isn’t his or his mom’s thing. I have a long history with this town. I was married here twenty something years ago. That marriage didn’t last forever, but what Vegas marriages ever do? I’ve been back on several trips since then and I’ve yet to discover the part of the city I really like. I’m here for a concert, a buffet, a trip to a really cool distillery (at Area 15–Lost spirits), and that concert…. But I am really here for the Oompa Loompas. I came to gamble a bit. I’m not expecting to win, but I do want to have fun with the Oompas. I played the Wonka game tonight and won 20+ on one machine and lost it all back plus the seed $$ on another. This is how these things go. I’m not satisfied, but it sure is fun.
I am grateful to have a life where this constant travel can happen. Good times roll in because I work hard and do what I need to do. So, I have to keep maintaining that balance, so life stays good.
Some Thoughts:
- Incredible come from behind team win for my mid kid. He caught the game winning touchdown, and was credited with one interception. He had a second interception called back and a forced fumble scoop and score called back. He’s really been a turnover machine this season with picks in two of three games so far. He is having his breakout season as a 16 yr old senior. He’s going to draw some attention and maybe catch an offer. This is going exactly how we wanted in this comeback season.
