Nice day to be a polar bear....

Brrrrr! I don't think it's been this cold outside since, well, forever. I thought that I had hit my cold record last January when I went ice fishing in Minnesota - the temperature (not windchill, regular temperature) registered -22 while I was there. However, there wasn't any wind and the sun was shining - that felt warmer than what I felt outside today. I bet it's (a little) warmer in Vegas.....

That's right...in one week I will be landing in Vegas to enjoy my Christmas present from Sharon! My buddy Jerry and I will be staying at the Circus Circus at the north end of the strip. I'm not a big gambler, though I have been studying blackjack basic strategy and am hoping to hit the tables for a bit. This is a guys trip, so the ladies will be back at home. We have tickets to see Jay Leno, and there will also be the required Margaritaville stop. Beyond that, we will let the cards fall as they will (pun intended). I've never been before, so more than anything, I'm excited just to see everything - to see how they spend the money they take from us :)

I'll definitely hit the highlights when I return!
