June 24, 2021: Vegas Vibe
OK, let’s put a bow on this Vegas trip, and get back to normal, whatever that is. I really showed my age that last night in Vegas, passing out at 11pm… pathetic. At least I didn’t lose any more money, … Continued
June 23, 2021: Some Vegas Firsts
Ok, ok, besides my boring gambling stories, what else has been going on? After all, these Vegas family trips are focused on pretty much everything else but gambling. Plenty of hours by the pool takes up the biggest bucket of … Continued
