Vegas, Baby!


Aaaaand... we're back.

Vegas. Ugh. Las Vegas.

When we were looking for a new place to live, a couple years ago, we came to Central Oregon and our real estate agent asked hopefully, looking for something to pitch, "Do you like to ski?"
"No." Her face fell.
"Do you like to fish?"
"No."
"Do you like to golf?"
"No."

She looked at us like we were vegetarians at a cattle show. She must have thought we were morons. She still didn't mind selling us a house, though, even if we did seem like fish out of water.

Anyway, last week we flew to Las Vegas to attend a wedding. Why do people get married in Sin City? Is marriage a sin?

We land in Las Vegas and I'm asking myself,
"Do I gamble?" ... "No."
"Do I drink?" ... "No."
"Do I smoke?" ... "No."
"Do I cheat on my wife?" ... "No."
"What the heck are you doing in Vegas, moron?"

Last Thursday we woke up, and it was snowing. We fly to Vegas, and it's 86 degrees.

We got back Sunday, but it's taken us a couple days to catch up on our sleep and get back in the rhythm of things. Like rain and 50-mile-an-hour winds.

I don't gamble either. I lose twenty dollar bills faster than Uncle Sam can print them.

The shows are fun to go to. Bally's had a classic Las Vegas Review. Steven Wright was in town. I laughed so hard, my entire upper body was in pain by the end.

We found the sidewalk margarita stands to be a good idea.

So, did they go to Vegas to get married or did they just happen to live there and wanted to get married?

Tell us about the wedding. I want details.

Hey, I just noticed you have a web cam in your house. Does Connie know about that? :)

I love Steven Wright. You've gotta wonder how he comes up with those lines.

I'll do a post on the wedding for you, Melissa. :)

Thanks for the webcam alert. When we went to Vegas I moved one of the webcams to face the front door so we could keep an eye on the cat. He spent most of the time on the old couch, and whenever he heard the webcam motor when I re-aimed it he would look up, so we knew he was alive. :)

I have a tendency to walk around with nothing on; I hope nobody was peeking. I've pointed it back outside.

Now I'm sorry that I said anything.
