Thanks Sarah for sending me this photo! Ah, remember when i went platnum? Perhaps i should be happy with gold or that inevitable silver, but alas, a fun memory. I had forgotten about this evening with Jenna, Stacy, a bunch of pastors and that unbelievable buffet on top of the highest restaurant in Bangkok.

Viva Las Vegas! My first trip to "Sin City" and i've come home clean, sober and not a whole lot richer.

Although Crista and I tried to qualify as a couple for a free show, we left the hand-holding up to the two couples we traveled with.

The sights! nothing says vegas like Chihuly. Paul and I went to his exhibit a few weeks ago in the Springs but that didn't prepare me for seeing Chihuly in Vegas. Although his work isn't much to my taste, I was really amazed at his glass work mounted to the ceiling of the Bellagio.

Our hotel, the San Remo, is being converted from a dumpy off strip casino to a high class hooters. In the meantime, nothing much seemed to work including our keys.

Josh is our new co-worker. He fits in right away. He works in the hall between Pam, me and the timeline. It was a dull, white, empty and constraining place until we painted it this beautiful blue. Josh became full of creative gusto and we liked him even more.

But our new blue wall didn't match the timeline so we had to paint it back to white. we will miss you blue wall. we will miss that other josh too...
