on a plane to Las Vegas. Or I'm going through a body scanner or being patted in all sorts of unmentionable places. Or still trying to figure out what to take and what to leave behind.
Sin City. I hate it. It's loud and crowded and filled with fake lighting. On the other hand, I'm sure I'll wager my standard $100 limit at the blackjack table at some point. I walk away when I lose it or when I'm up $200. And yes, I have walked away up $200 a couple of times.
Packing for a trip like this wears me out. When you are my size, your clothes take up more space and weigh more. My extra pair of boots ain't light either. Yes, I do have to have 2 pair of boots. I've got my standards. Then there's the question of whether I'll make it to the gym or not, which 2 or 3 of the 60 books I have waiting to be read to take depending on my mood, extra everything just because I can't run in any store and buy what I need. Sheesh. There's the laptop because I will have to work at some point and a documents I'm in the middle of that need to be read. What a pain. All to go somewhere I don't enjoy but it's a work trip and I have always wanted to see the NFR so Monday night I will be a-hootin'-and-hollerin'...or maybe just clapping. There are 4 guys from Decatur performing so that's cool and 2 of them are our endorsers so that's even cooler and 1 of them has already won his record breaking 8th All Around Cowboy title so that's really cool.
I'll try to post something while I'm there. I've got a couple of posts I've already worked on that I've been saving for when the brain was ginning so you might see those or I might have some epiphany while soaring through the skies and have to write all about it.
I hope to be turning you on to a new blog soon too. I have a friend who is getting ready to launch in January and I know he'll have some good things to say. He has been a close friend of mine and someone who's thoughts and opinions I value highly. More on that later.
I'm starting a book that I think will stir some thoughts to share too. I hope to delve into that in the next few weeks. OK, off to begin the packing beat-down...
Grace and peace to you.
