After work today, my daughter and I are going to fly off to Vegas for a soccer tournament. Whoohoo!
I hate Vegas.
Booo!
I'll be bringing my camera and schleptop so I can blog from there. In the meantime, here's a video highlight reel of my daughter playing absolute shut down defense. Or maybe it's someone a lot like her playing a different sport. I get them confused.
Yeah, I went to Vegas once for a technical conference. If you don't like to gamble (I don't), and if you don't have a few hundred dollars to drop to see the "shows" (I didn't), there's really nothing to do in Vegas other than look for cheap buffets to eat at, and wander up and down the streets. I ended up being caught in what I have been calling a "mudstorm"; it started with blowing dust, followed up with just enough rain to make mud fall from the sky. It was certainly *different*, I'll grant you that. And then there was the "natural history museup" at the end of the Strip, which turned out to be basically a warehouse for rich people to donate the stuffed heads of the animals that they shot in their African safaris, after they realized that they looked tacky on the wall of their study.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, I can think of lots of better places to go. Like Duluth. I like to go to Duluth.
I wish we were going to Duluth. I get tired of all the porn in Las Vegas in about 15 seconds. When I was there for Blogworld, I wondered if Las Vegas residents, upon visiting a place like Duluth, remark about how much they miss all the porn.
