What happens in Vegas...

With these introductory words you're reading, I'm offically popping my blog cherry. If you listen closely, you can hear the twig snap. Many thanks to my good friend Jasper for inspiring me to join the blogosphere. And now back to our regularly scheduled program...

It's been almost 24 hours since I've been back from my annual visit to Vegas and I still have not recovered. The time difference. The lack of sleep. Pure exhaustion in an orgy with an assortment of aches and pains. I barely managed to drink enough water to replenish the pounds and pounds of sweat I shed daily while going one-on-one with the blazing sun. Even the Moon in Vegas radiates heat cuz it was hot as shit at night. Luckily, after every 20 paces you're at another door to yet another air-conditioned casino.

After a couple of Wheel-of-Fortune spins in my favor and some timely busts (pun intended) by a hapless blackjack dealer, I cashed in my short-term luck to pay for a cab ride to the Thomas & Mack Arena plus a discounted-scapled-ticket to see the USA mens basketball team aka Dream Team version 5.2. Never thought I'd see Kidd snatch a rebound, outlet to Kobe, who takes one dribble and throws an alley oop to LeBron, let alone see it in person.

Can't wait to see what Vegas holds for me next year.

Until Next Time...thanks for tuning in.
