It is certainly about time! I will be leaving in the morning headed to the airport for VEGAS! I'm really looking forward to just get away for a few days. I do not drink, therefore no bufoonery! I am going with a buddy who is an avid poker player. He has been a good boy, so the wife gave him a pass! I have a rent a car from Dollar (intermed.)- $23.75 a day for 4 days. Tentative Plans: Lotsa poker (my buddy)! Playing the ponies and watching a couple of baseball games w/out interruptions! (me) Lotsa eating- Emerils Fish House, Grand Luxe, Paris Brea. Buffet, and not sure where else. Shopping- just checking to see if I might save a little in Vegas. (right?) Enjoying the heck out of not being on anybody's schedules! Eating more! Thanks again for all of the information y'all provide on this board! Moe
