Vegas, Baby

Hey girls, long time, no post.

We got back from Vegas last Sunday, and we had a great time. Lots of relaxation by the pool for me, lots of learnin' for Kane. I did a lot of walking around, looking at casinos, went for a run (the weather was perfect....70 degrees with a breeze), swimming, did some good eatin'.....etc. We stayed at the Paris, and the only thing it made me want to do is visit the REAL Paris.

We saw a Cirque du Soleil show and it was amazing. "O", set over water. The ususal gymnastic craziness mixed with synchronized swimming and diving. I was ready to come home and apply for a job with the troupe, but realized that I'm about 15 years too old, and 30 pounds too heavy. Kane insisted that if I really wanted to do it, he would be totally supportive.

While sitting by the pool, I knitted some on the sweater, but realized after I saw Molly's that I needed the smaller size, so it got ripped. Now, I'm ripping again after a stupid mistake of misaligned eyelets, but sometimes those happen. It's moving along very quickly now that I'm past the garter section of the body. I also did a little reading and some drinking...it's Vegas, the only place where people don't judge you for having a drink with an umbrella in it, by the pool, at 10 am.

The little trip made me ready for spring, but I've come back to the Sierra to realize that it's still winter. We got a nice spring surprise of ~2 feet of freshies this morning. Riding in powder is something that I'm not very good at, since it's something I experienced once every 10 years back in WV....so today was a challenge but lots of fun. I'm going to take a women's specific clinic next week to help me work on more ski skills before the end of the season.

Hope you guys are doing well. Molly, again the sweater is beautiful. Jill, keep up the good work on the thesis, you're almost there.

I think you've both been to Vegas.....thought I'd leave you with one of MY favorite attractions, the Bellagio fountains.

Cheers!
