There may be no better feeling than planning a Vegas Trip. This one came together pretty quickly - a fortunate convergence of a break in my new bride's schedule from studying for her masters degree, plenty of vacation days in my account, a great offer arriving in the mail from the Venetian and a sweet bonus check from busting my ass last quarter.

We'll be arriving early on Sunday the 19th of August and staying until late in the day on the 22nd. That feels like it should be about the pe

Based on reading this article in today Las Vegas Review Journal - it sure seems like Sin City and the State of Nevada isn't doing such a great job managing it's growth. With funding shortfalls of $4 Billion for roads, $940 million for schools and HUGE tax loopholes for the big gaming companies.

My favorite quote is about Govenor Jim Gibbons, "His first six months as chief executive have feat

...that I'm sitting here completely avoiding putting together the presentation I have to give in 12 hours and haven't started because I'm "busy" looking up Nicole Eggert on IMDB.Com to see if she's been in the Gilmore Girls??? (She Has). I need a break from this crap.

Thank God I'm on a plane to Vegas in 6 days. That should fix things.

Let me begin with stating that I LOVE the concept of the intelligent degenerate. I don't think I've better articulated my being into 2 simple words. My wife and I have recently moved into a very nice new home. We essentially have all our shit in the house, but nothing is organized and it's been stressful and other than buying and setting up a new 46" flatscreen HD full 1080i television, I've proven myself to be basically worthless. My old lady asked me to go and get some new hangers so our house… Continue

Looking at the member pages of this site - it's fascinating to see what ads google decides to put up -

For example, Patch. I fully expected to see plumber's ads here, but instead we find "Girls dating Older Men" and "Black Christian Friends". Fennville, expectedly ,has nothing but Casino Ads - while Hawkeye Brad checks in with ads for Iowa Painters.

It will be interesting to watch as the site grows. Maybe we'll crack the

My ramble on gene got the best of me yesterday and I didn’t have enough time to get out my thoughts on the Western Conference Finals which begin tonight when the Ducks come to Hockeytown to take on the Red Wings. The puck drops in less than 11 hours, and there are still many good seats available. It’s amazing what can happen to a team with a great fan base when ownership keeps raising ticket prices. Wasn’t there a lockout recentl

Cross posted from my real blog

Two rounds and twelve teams down, two rounds and four teams left. Generally speaking, the first two rounds of the NHL playoffs are usually easy money for anyone that knows anything about the game. Case in point; I have not paid nearly as much attention to the game since the lockout that I did before it and I have gone 11-1 picking the winners in each seri

So we just recently moved into a fancy new crib. Yesterday, I popped the proverbial cherry by clogging the shitter after a healthy grumpy punt. First time ever in the new home,...I guess she's officially broken in. I couldn't find a plunger of course so I had to venture to the local Rite Aid and pick one up. Of course I'm carrying nothing else and walking by tons of hot women in the middle of the afternoon. I was literally LOLing to myself throughout the visit. Continue

I heard about this article on the fivehundybymidnight weekly podcast. VegasTripping.com did an article on how podcasters like TD and Brian are changing the landscape of reporting.

"Where traditional media depends on corporate connections and press releases to guide their editorial content, independent publishers produce content that they find interesting, without having to cow tow to editors, pu… Continue
