MIA no MIV…Missing in Vegas

Yeah just got back from a few days in Vegas. No I didn’t gamble...like my money too much to lose it gambling. First mental note from the trip...no more trips to Vegas in June. WTF...it is so f’ing hot out there at this time. Lasted three holes on the golf course and then thought I was going to pass out. Had me down for a good day and a half and no it wasn’t the alcohol.

Although alcohol did have a big consequence on this trip, but that story will have to be told by someone other than me. (What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas especially when you don't remember!) Second mental note from the trip...tequila....it is not just for breakfast any more. Bottom line is that it is not for Red any more. No...it didn’t make me lose my clothes...but I think I may have damaged or lost something that meant the world to me for the past few years. I guess only time will tell.


Goal of the trip was to spend time with Tina, Breanna, Mercedes and Bronson. Never enough time no matter what. Not enough hours in the day. We did get a fun night of bowling in. T’s nieces and their boy friends are a blast. Ed Carman you have a great family and I am so fortunate to know them.

The other comment I want to make is about how terrorist can f’up this po dunk country red neck. Ever since Dad died I have carried around one of the bullet casings from his military salute, well since the bombings in London, security was tight in Vegas and I think they removed it from my checked luggage. I have went through both bags and I can’t find it…I don’t think I left it there because I have my pocket knife that I carry in the same pocket as the casing. It is OK though cause I still have his wedding ring on my hand so I have him with me no matter what.

Then also I get home and Mom has been sick, but hooray for Ivan, Charlie & Mary and Kim, Candice and Jada Bird for taking care of Mom while I was gone. She was in good hands.

Next to the final cap on this trip is once every one leaves and it is just Mom and me...BAM...I have a sewer problem to take care of. Nothing like being up 4:30 AM to catch a flight home and then spend time dealing with SHIT! Snaked my lines and couldn’t find anything. Had to wait for the city to fix it the next day.

And the final straw to my lovely vacation ending is my pool was supposed to be fixed Monday and here it is Tuesday and they still haven’t contacted me after all my messages that I have left. I bet I get some free chemicals out of this. So much for floating in the pool for the Fourth. Looks like I will have to turn to another liquid instead of water...just no more TEQUILA!!!!

OH WELL!!! Tomorrow is another day. Lets see what this second half of 2007 brings.
