What happens on the blog stays in the blog

I just received a reminder (nudge) from a friend that I have not written on my blog for sometime and as the person concerned also tends to remind me that I do not share a great deal of personal information? I will break that habit today.

I just returned from a trip to Las Vegas where I went to meet my daughter who had decided to stay at the Luxor on her 14 day tour of American and so I did too. The rooms are like a slightly upgraded Hampton Inn but clean enough. Yours truly prefers to stay at the Venetian when going for pleasure and the Paris when going on business. We did go to the Venetian for a gondola ride which my daughter and her boyfriend enjoyed very much. Like all dads the smile on my daughters face made the ride a treat though the friendly singing gondolier did an excellent job too. He did want to know where my lady was and laughed when I reported that I had not found her yet.

One show that I would recommend to all couples visiting Vegas is defending the caveman. Though not as well done as the original by Bob Becker the writer and creator of the show you would have to have seen the original back in the early 90's to note the difference. Or was it just the magic of that particular evening? I have to say the gentleman in Vegas gave a very credible performance and I am sure that as more and more visitors learn of this show it will enjoy great success.

It was of course sad to part with my little girl as she headed on to San Fransisco and then New York while I headed back to the Piney Woods and work. It makes you realize the importance of family as the plane takes off in the wee small hours of the morning and you realise that there beneath you sleeping lies one of the most precious people in your life and that a hug from her as we parted the evening before was like hitting the jackpot for over a million dollars.

And for the kind lady on the plane who thought I had lost a lot of money in Vegas when she saw a tear in my eye, she need not have worried. I am after all Scots!

Welcome back! Your writing style is fantastically enjoyable and creates pictures in the imagination. You also offer sound financial advice and often much needed spiritual reminders and interesting perspectives. I enjoyed "Defending the Caveman" another great show is "I love you, You're Perfect, Now Change!" Enjoy this awesome day.
