You gotta know when to hold em...

OK, so I'm in Las Vegas, down about $150 to black jack, and staying at dumpy Circus Circus. But things are looking up...

I played the most excellent golf course yesterday. I definately need to thank my father in law for the suggestion. We teamed up with a pair of sales guys from Richmond. Small world huh? I shot a 107 which really blows because from the 3rd to the 10th hole I was hitting them great. I really fucked up the back 9. =( Sean beat my by 1 in strokes but I beat him by 1 in holes so he owes me $1. We played the mountain course which has a couple of small canyons, lots of desert scenery and hundreds of rabbits. They were everywhere. It also had one par 4 over a small lake that looked like an infinity pool. I'm very pleased to have played this course in my 50 state golf challenge. I can now add Nevada to my list.

Florida (I don't really count this one because it was the first time I played and it was a dog track)
Virginia
North Carolina
Ohio
South Carolina
Georgia (I list this one but I'd rather replace it with a better course. That one kind of sucked)
Nevada

We're moving to The Flamingo today which is down on the strip near the nicer casinos. Now hopefully my luck will just change. Maybe I should just stick to playing the ATMs. I can't seem to lose on those as long as my bets are small.

BTW, my workouts have been shit for the last couple of days. I'm going to have to start over when I get back I guess. I'm very disappointed. There just isn't anywhere to do pullups and it's too <insert blaspheme> hot here to go jog.

10 years ago, Circus Circus was great! As far as working out, that's ok. The most important thing is to pick it back up. You've only failed if you don't.

Really? May 2007? I guess Facebook has taken over.
