So I'm sitting here at my desk at the house this afternoon, and Tony, my roommate, comes home from the office early and hops in the shower. Since he has a girlfriend now, I think nothing of it, as he's probably got someplace he's required to be.
Well, he gets out of the shower, gets dressed, and wanders down the hallway asking me to GO TO VEGAS TONIGHT!!!
It's just like George Clooney and Matt Damon in Oceans 11. "You're either in or out. Right now."
He's packing his bags and trying to talk me into going tonight...but reality says that I've only got about $400 in extra cash, and of course I have to work tomorrow...
No problem, he says, Jim (our poker buddy) is driving up tomorrow. Free room at the Trop, too.
Oh man...I feel like a kid outside of a candy store, who has a pocket full of spending money, but knows he should be saving it for a new bike (or a sailing trip to Catalina in October...)
Hmmm...as much as I hate to, I think I have to pass...
Now I'm depressed.
Vegas will still be there in October, I keep telling myself.
