What Happens in Vegas, Gets Blogged

I just got home from Vegas – the first nights I’ve spent apart from Cindy in a decade and the first I’ve ever spent absent from the children since they were born. It felt odd to be away, but the trip was rather amazing and packed with rewards I never expected.

That post about fear last Friday was in reference to my trip. The lump in my throat was so large before leaving, my normally giant Adam’s apple probably looked like a bit like a trapped gopher. I’ve no problem talking to people once I get going, but usually have to wrangle the cat for my tongue during the first fifteen minutes of any first-time encounter. I was also worried that people I enjoyed online would be somehow different in person.

As usual the scariest thing was the fear itself.

The trip was wonderful, though I am relieved to finally be home, back to my own bed and most favorite people. I’m facing inbox overload and do need to catch up, but I’ll talk a bit more about the trip a little later in the week. For now, thanks for being here and it’s great to be back.

  • It's pretty easy to get tired of Vegas after a couple of days. Most the people I know that live here hardly ever go down to the strip. Maybe a couple of times a year when they have guests in town to catch a show or dine out.

  • Nah, I don't even like to gamble. Except for Black Jack. I do like that, but it's too rich for my blood these days. Then again, so are the nickel slots! Maybe next year.
  • Bet you have some stories to tell. Glad it went well!

  • My stories might be kinda boring, but the energy there was awesome for sure. I actually brought work to do in my hotel room, but as you can imagine I got exactly none of it done!
  • It is weird to drop out of your comfort zone from time-to-time. Especially when in the past lives were so different. Glad you enjoyed your trip, and delighted to discover you are happier still at home.
  • LOVED Vegas, no doubt. But I love home with an exponent or two. : > )

  • I think I'll be writing most of it over at the Inkwell and a little bit at GWD. I'll probably keep it mostly about the experience of being away while here at home base, but I've no doubt got lots to say.

    Always nice to see you Danny.
