Hey everyone.

There will be a brief hiatus from posting til next Monday.  I'm at a conference in Vegas and it turns out that the city of sin is also the city of ripping you off as much as possible.  Everything is extra.  The pool.  The gym.  And, most important to this blog, the internet.

some quick notes.
1. the cab drivers here are the best part so far.  Besides for the airport cab which ripped us off, these people talk so comfortably and down to earth.  They're my favorite part.  Because unlike New York, the cab driver here want to be here to gamble--so they are a part of it.  As one cabbie said, "I may only have a half a day of the week to myself, but in that halfday, I want to be at the tables."

2. Vegas can not cook a Reuben and Matzah Ball Soup.  That one was probably my bad.

3. Putting the State of the Union on the TV with no volume and no closed captioning is ridiculous.

4. One day in and I still haven't gambled yet.  This place gives me the creeps.
