OK, somebody tell me what day it really is? I think this is Thursday afternoon. Well, actually I know it is because we changed hotels today per the plan. We were at Planet Hollywood and now we have moved about a block north on the strip and are at the Palazzo. We are having a good restful vacation. We haven't done a lot since we got here from California. We've gone to eat at a couple of our special places. We've played a few slot machines with no earnings that will interest the IRS. We had a big lunch at one of our favorite places today and even though it was a few hours ago, --- I'm still stuffed. Of course I might owe that to the job I just did on the last of the Dunkin Donut Munchkins. Yeh, they're gone.

I noticed an interesting thing yesterday as we were walking over to lunch. Out on the side walk were a couple of guys, about a block apart, and they each had a Jesus Saves sign and a portable megaphone and were preaching the Gospel to anyone that would listen. It was solid hell fire and damnation rhetoric. --- In the evening there was a whole new set of guys out there only these are the "card guys". It is a bunch of Mexicans that stand along the strip sidewalks and try to hand you cards with numbers of "escorts" and "private strippers" etc. So --- I couldn't help but think that we had literally gone from the "Light side" to the Dark side". Las Vegas is indeed a strange place.

Our plans for the rest of the week are minimal too. Tomorrow night we are going to to see "Jersey Boys", a show at the Paris Hotel. Saturday morning --- real early ---we need to head north on I-15 to Mesquite, NV which about 70 miles north of here. Lauren has a Pro MX race up there on Saturday morning at 0800. That puts us on the road NLT 0600. Then we had back to Las Vegas for two more night.

Ms. Kate got to the Coach Outlet store today so she's a happy camper. That's where her "winnings" go and with the bargains she gets ---- I couldn't care less except, I haven't got a clue why any woman needs that many Coach purses.

I'm watching out my 18th story window at the LV Strip and traffic is back to back, bumper to bumper.   Having lived here for two years many years ago, we learned that are times to be out in traffic and there are times to keep your tush home.

That's it for today. I hope your weekend is wonderful and full of blessings from God. Peace.
