During this visit to Vegas, I think I’ve switched hotels more times than I’ve changed my hair color in the last few months. if you follow me on facebook, you’ve seen the pics & know this is a lot.my most recent hotel swap was from the Venetian to Planet Hollywood Westgate. My friend Mitch Sanders [...]

Vegas was fab- in fact, it was more than fab.  I booked a first class ticket that stopped through Denver, and aside from a loooong wait for luggage recheck after customs, the flight was smooth and carefree.  Surprisingly, it wasn’t much more to book a 1st class ticket, than it would have been to book [...]

Chickens and other farm animals on buses. Bus drivers that stop in the middle of their route to do their grocery shopping (leaving passengers waiting patiently on the bus.) Naked mannequins getting into bed in a department store window display for Valentine’s Day. Grocery shopping: Buying eggs in a bag- I still plop them on [...]
