On discovery & rediscovery
Two quick notes tonight, before I head off to bed. First, my first trip to Las Vegas was last month. Wow. What a crazy city. Afterwards, while still decompressing I ran into a friend who said that Las Vegas was a look at all of the American vices, and while I agree with him in principle, I found it very interesting that there were two things that were verboten in Las Vegas. First, prostitution. Sure, there are plenty of erotic dancers, and girlfriends for an evening, whatever you want to call it, but the fact is that the county Las Vegas sits in has made prostitution illegal, unlike most of the rest of the state of Nevada. Secondly, it turns out that while you can do just about anything else while gambling, saying the “F word” is not OK. Granted it was well past 2am, and we’d all had enough to drink to loosen up the tongues, but I was still very shocked at the response of the pit boss to two slips of the “F bomb.” Oh well, I guess they have to draw the line somewhere, right?
As for rediscovery, I have recently been introduced to two old friends by way of their blogs, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to continue to catch up on what they’ve been up to these last five years plus. I cannot believe that Kassy & I have been here in Austin nearly five years already. Time flies, and speaking of that, I have got to get to bed.
